The Spellbook of the Lost and Found revolves around a spellbook. A spellbook which will change everything for Olive and those close to
her. All of this started on a stormy summer night after a drunk obnoxious party. After this party is when
Olive and her best friend, Rose, began to lose things. Not much more than small
clips and jewelry, but there wasn't much time until Rose lost something big,
something worth looking for and thinking about over sleepless nights. Something
that makes her slip away from the grasp of her best friend Olive. Just when
things couldn’t get worse seductive pages written by a girl named Laurel begin
to appear all over town. That’s when Olive’s simple thoughts become reality.
Meeting the strangers Ivy, Hazel and her twin brother Rowan in a housing estate
where the spellbook is found. Olive soon comes to realize that these three are
no different than Rose and herself-- lost and holding painful secrets. The
spellbook seems to bring back the smallest courage into these lost eyes. The
spellbook, tattered and torn, holds charms which will supposedly bring back
things which could only be dreamed of. Olive and the three others could only
think of this as a gift, a chance to help themselves. But little did they know
that some secrets are never meant to be found.
Olive is a character who binds the story together much like
the spellbook binds the characters together. This is a book that kept me
reading and wondering. I constantly was in suspense and surprise which is what
made this book the most enjoyable. It may be hard at first to understand the
setting and characters but it's sure to get better as the book progresses.
