I do like Ms. Zarr's stories. This one had some religious undertones without being preachy. ( )

This book is giving me bad flashbacks. I'm not sure I'll finish it--there's so much that reminds me of growing up in the incredible falseness of that particular brand of Christianity. I managed to leave it behind while still holding on to my faith, something I hope the main character manages as well...It was really good! It's the sort of book I wish I'd read when I was a teen. It didn't all turn out the way I expected, and it was a little overly dramatic, but I'm definitely checking out more books by Zarr! ( )

Loved this book. Honest thoughts and realistic conversations. I look forward to reading more from Sara Zarr. ( )

This was okay - thought provoking and contemplative, but I didn't really engage with the main character. The mystery of the missing girl ended too quickly without enough explanation. Not sure if this book will appeal to many teenagers. ( )

Young Reader Reaction: We see everything through Sam's perspective. The book is sectioned off by days like a diary, with newspaper excerpts to follow Jody’s kidnap case. This isn't a mystery, it is more about Sam's life, so the kidnapping is a side plot that moves through the story like a passing scene. The characters themselves are well developed, and their feelings really shine through the accuracy of the reactions. It is also worth noting that even though religion is part of the story, it is mainly used to establish Sam’s character and is integral to the nature of the town. It does not make the story sound too moralistic or preachy. There is a small romantic incident. It seems like it was an attempt to bring excitement to the plot, but it felt like a random scene added to complete Sam’s teenager image. Near the end of the book, the plot starts to show a pattern, and Sam’s actions become all too predictable. Fortunately, this issue is resolved with an ending that secures the main themes of faith, love, and family. It is a comforting book, but to be warned, there is a pretty gloomy mood that overlays the bulk of the story.

Adult Reader Reaction: Review pending.

Pros: Readers looking for a coming-of-age story with a strong female character will enjoy Once Was Lost.
