Libby Lost and Found: A Novel
by Stephanie Booth
Quirky and Charming with a Little Bit of Angst (9/8/2024)
Libby Weeks is the author of a children's fantasy series, known as F.T. Goldhero.. Peanut Bixton, age 11, a passionate follower of these very intricate stories and lets everyone know it. Now, I'm not a fan of fantasy books but that's ok because this book is contemporary fiction about the two main characters and their desire to get the last book of the series written. The point of view is through the ever-busy minds of these two main characters. Both characters are unique and quirky in their own ways. They both have their own set of complications and anxieties to overcome. The plot is mainly about those. The finishing of the series moves the story along.

I was surprised at how much I loved this book. There was not a dull moment in the story. Nor did it ever slow down. This is Stephanie Booth's first book, and I can't wait to see what other books she has up her sleeve. Libby Lost and Found is full of imagination, problem solving, adventure and the tiniest bit or romance. I hope you fall in love with Libby. Her story will remind you of the first book you ever fell in love with as a child. It's that good. I highly recommend!
