Description Supposing Books Flotsam
Amy was cursed. There was no doubt about it. It happened the day her mother left her in an old Lost and Found box when she was only three. That day, she believed, was the day that she had been cursed with the uncanny ability to locate lost items, people and things, but never to be able to find things she had lost herself. Tossed around from home to home, because no one wants her around, Amy is placed under the care of an old German man named, Mr. Heckler. There Amy finds, a lost baby deer, a home, and a chance of a new life. Given a list of lost items to locate, Amy sets out to prove her abilities, only to find herself a pawn of power, in a very dangerous game of seek and find, where desperate individuals will stop at nothing until she has found every secret, and dug up every treasure the town has. FLOTSAM, is an adventure story that tells of forgiveness, and hope, of shipwrecked lives, and of those amazing coastguards of life who take the time to find us when we are lost.

Lemony Snickett meets the Boxcar Children in this interesting and spunky tale about a girl who can find anything for anyone, except a family for herself. Good for ages 8 and up!This is great on so many levels. First is the problems that a great many of our foster children face in trying to adjust to a new home and school. The young heroine does a lot of growing up and the supporting characters will either make you cheer them on or wish they had grown up themselves. I did appreciate the part of the story that brought WW II and the German POW camps. Also, who can't appreciate the rescue of a young fawn??
Nice short story with happy ending.
Darling kids book!This is fun story and I really enjoyed it. It would be perfect to read with a child. It kept me engaged as well!
I'm the author. So honestly...what else could I say, except that this book is a awesome, and you would love it. However, the subjective, critical side of me says, "Well, come on, Steph, you're reviewing your own book on goodreads. That's rather lame---to say the least. Then the the author in me says, "Dude, shut up critic. It's lame not to try and share your work. Go ahead, Steph, give the best plug about your book you possibly can. Do your best, expect the best, be positive, and proactive,
This is a good book for younger readers (if many of the grammatical and punctuation errors were cleared up.) My one criticism is that the author reallllllyyyyy had to stretch to get the title to connect to the book. Yes, I know the fawn was named "Flotsam," but the rest of the "flotsam" discussion seemed forced (especially since the word "flotsam" doesn't have the negative connotations Mr. Heckler implied it had.)
EntertainingI enjoyed this book very much. I especially enjoyed how the main character learned that family is not always blood.
