Verity Sparks, Lost and Found by Susan Green, ISBN 9781921977886, Walker Books Australia
REVIEWED BY PIPPA, 12, WA
Pippa borrowed a copy of this book from the library.
Melbourne, 1879
Verity Sparks-Savinov has moved to a new country, with a new father and a brand-new mystery to solve. She has taken a new name, and made new friends. But she has lost her gift, her ability to find lost objects.
Her father is eager for her to start at a select school for young ladies, but Verity isn’t so keen. She is more interested in the Ecclethorpe mystery, which seems to be leading them to dead ends. She meets a new friend, Poppy, and tries to find out who Lavinia O’Day is and why she is so sickly and frail.
When her father is missing off a sunken ship in Queensland, will she find her gift before it is too late?
I think this book is as good as the first book (The Truth about Verity Sparks), but you need to read that first. I rate it 9/10.
