The Book of Lost Things by Cynthia Voigt
3.0
3.5 stars. Because Grammie is an awesome librarian.
This was my first Cynthia Voigt, so I wasn't sure what to expect going in. It's definitely on the slow side of middle grade mysteries, but still enjoyable. I do think Voigt could have done a bit better with Max's parents... Although their disappearance is the main mystery in the book, I frankly cared so little for their characters that I couldn't understand why Max was bothered. Also, the situation with the Long Ears was resolved far too tidily and quickly for my taste.
On to see what the sequel offers!
