Synopsis

"This cozy story weaves Christian themes of faith and friendship into a slow-burn mystery with spots of humor and drama. Everts develops the large, racially diverse cast of characters through strong dialogue that propels the plot." — Kirkus Reviews
"This earnest caper by Everts imagines a world in which adolescent hormones trigger not just emotional overdrive but empathic superpowers....Everts demonstrates how people can grow emotionally and spiritually through hardship, and delves into the affirming power of friendship and belonging." — Publishers Weekly
What if you could see things no one else could?
Meet Oscar, a new kid navigating life in a new town, at a new school, with no friends to lean on.

Confused and curious, he soon discovers he's not the only one at his school with a mysterious power.
When chaos disrupts Centerville High, Oscar finds himself in the middle of an eclectic group of kids who all want answers...and are eager to take action! These zealous teen journalists and amateur detectives include other "Sensates"—kids like Oscar who have unique powers. No longer alone, Oscar discovers that those orbs he's been seeing might just be put to good use.
Join Oscar as he untangles his own mysteries of friendship and faith, and learns that overcoming his deepest fears will require tapping into a Power greater than his own.

    Through the botanical garden maze of Bloomridge, where perfumers distill lavender laced labyrinths from fragrance clues and flower thieves pluck petals of the rare, perfumer Aria sleuths scentedly with thief Ronan, whose thefts scent a plot of garden sabotage. Their labyrinth, distilled in fragrance vows and petal-kissed essences, uncovers truth—or wilts in over-scented mists of misdirection. As they navigate through maze-laced hedges and clue-bound greenhouses, laced by scent wardens and bloom rivals, Aria's perfuming art fuses with Ronan's thieving stealth, revealing a botanical legend of laced revelation. When a wilted lavender summons pollen phantoms, they must distill the sleuthing to bloom the resolution. In the lace of lavender labyrinths, where every fragrance trails the secret and every theft blooms the twist, their delicate mystery becomes the scent that perfumes the garden's peace.

    Winner of the Minnesota Book Award * A Texas Bluebonnet Book 
    “Perfect to be read late into the night.”—Stefan Bachmann, internationally bestselling author of The Peculiar 
    “A spooky sisterhood mystery that is sure to be a hit with readers.”—School Library Journal (starred review) 
    “Grab a flashlight and stay up late with this one.”—Kirkus Reviews 
    Once there were two sisters who did everything together. But only one of them disappeared. 
    New York Times–bestselling author Jacqueline West’s Long Lost is an atmospheric, eerie mystery brimming with suspense. Fans of Katherine Arden’s Small Spaces and Victoria Schwab’s City of Ghosts series will lose themselves in this mesmerizing and century-spanning tale. 
    Eleven-year-old Fiona has just read a book that doesn’t exist. 
    When Fiona’s family moves to a new town to be closer to her older sister’s figure skating club—and far from Fiona’s close-knit group of friends—nobody seems to notice Fiona’s unhappiness. Alone and out of place, Fiona ventures to the town’s library, a rambling mansion donated by a long-dead heiress. And there she finds a gripping mystery novel about a small town, family secrets, and a tragic disappearance. 
    Soon Fiona begins to notice strange similarities that blur the lines between the novel and her new town. With a little help from a few odd Lost Lake locals, Fiona uncovers the book’s strange history. Lost Lake is a town of restless spirits, and Fiona will learn that both help and danger come from unexpected places—maybe even from the sister she thinks doesn’t care about her anymore. 
    New York Times–bestselling and acclaimed author Jacqueline West weaves a heart-pounding, intense, and imaginative mystery that builds anticipation on every page, while centering on the strong and often tumultuous bond between sisters. Laced with suspense, Long Lost will fascinate readers of Trenton Lee Stewart’s The Secret Keepers and fans of ghost stories.
