Review:

Once I realized that this book had some of my triggers (thanks to the authors note) I was wary of reading this book. I'm glad I read it though. Even at my age when I read this (43 years old) I have always questioned it any of it happened or because I was a child everything just seemed more - bigger then it really was (it was abuse and is NOT in any shape or form anything else). Antsy going through s similar road at a similar age as me when it happened made me feel a little bit less crazy.

This is important for folks who had to experience the beginnings of abuse, but where lucky enough not to have to go through more then they did. Like me. Like the character in the book Antsy. Like so many countless others. It is just as valid as any other form of abuse.

Goodreads Description:

A young girl discovers an infinite variety of worlds in this standalone tale in the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series from Seanan McGuire, Lost in the Moment and Found.

Welcome to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go.

If you ever lost a sock, you’ll find it here.

If you ever wondered about favorite toy from childhood... it’s probably sitting on a shelf in the back.

And the headphones that you swore that this time you’d keep safe? You guessed it….

Antoinette has lost her father. Metaphorically. He’s not in the shop, and she’ll never see him again. But when Antsy finds herself lost (literally, this time), she finds that however many doors open for her, leaving the Shop for good might not be as simple as it sounds.

And stepping through those doors exacts a price.

Lost in the Moment and Found tells us that childhood and innocence, once lost, can never be found.
