It is an ordinary day…except that there is an unusual
blizzard in North Texas, which has the whole area in an uproar. Then the call came. “Lost and Found” is a fictional work by Amy
Shojai, in which the main character, September Day, has a past which is causing
her to have difficulties facing the present.
She is plunged into a situation, which has her running, against all odds,
to save her seven year old nephew, who has autism, and his companion dog. What is worse is that there is a deadline
looming over her head. She has to stop
the boy’s risky medical treatment to save his life. But first, she has to find him. This book has
it all; urgency, murder, mayhem, characters to which you can relate, and a plot
that gets thicker and thicker by the moment.
This is the first fictional book that Amy Shojai has
written. She has written 26 award-winning
non-fiction books about animals. Ms.
Shojai is a certified animal behavior consultant, which is more than apparent
in “Lost and Found”; which, by the way, is the perfect title for this work. She is involved with two websites,
cats.About.com and puppies.About.com.
She also hosts an Internet pet radio show called, “CRAZY CAT Radio Show”. Ms. Shojai brings all of this experience to
the table in her fictional book. As a
result, her animal characters are rich in personality, making them easy to care
about.
I found this mystery to be fast-pace and easy to read. At times, I was literally tense with nervous excitement. The characters, both human and animal, rang
true, and I had little trouble imagining each scene. I would suggest “Lost and Found” to anybody
who enjoys a good, suspenseful book.
