(2) YA Seventh grader Tillie, isolated and friendless, acts as her school's de facto "Lost and Found," scrutinizing the myriad photos she takes to locate classmates' mislaid items. One day popular Jake asks for her help in solving the mystery of his father's disappearance. Young rolls out a suspenseful mystery that soon deepens into a nuanced coming-of-age story. Authentic middle-school dialogue, humor, and social dynamics add appeal.
