Synopsis

Ever wonder where the lost things go?

Ever since the day her classmate Jenny-May Butler vanished, Sandy Shortt has been haunted by what happens when something – or someone – disappears. Finding has become her goal.

Jack Ruttle is desperate to find his younger brother Donal who vanished into thin air a year ago. So when he spots an ad for Sandy’s missing persons agency, he’s certain that she will answer his prayers and find his missing brother.

But then Sandy disappears too, stumbling upon a place that is a world away from the only one she has ever known. Now all she wants, more than anything, is to find her way home.

I read this book in 2 days, unable to put it down it was so good. Like Sandy, I have often wondered were things go having searched everywhere for that elusive sock, pen lipstick etc that I knew I had. Well now I know & believe it has gone to A Place Called Here & that is is being put to use by someone else. This was a wonderful book from the beginning to the end. Transporting the reader to Here along with Sandy. It made me laugh & cry, made me happy & sad.

Dear Cecilia As someone who has always been lost and felt lost. someone who is constantly wandering. your book spoke to my heart and i totally relate to Sandy!!! Feeling so out of place. I felt understood in your book and on the very last page when Sandy goes to tell Jenny May's mum I wish you had included it in a way but I kind of understand why you excluded it. The words you wrote after that about not wanting to be found etc were like someone had been reading my thoughts and diary. I wish you so much happiness and thank you for your book which has helped me one more step along my difficult journey. kind regards Pam from Scotland.

I loved this book, great ideas, a real escape kind of book, you can just get lost in it for hours, which is fabulous when you think what it is all about, another excellent read. It would be nice to know that everything and everyone who is lost is out there somewhere just waiting to be found. Very thought provoking, I like it. x
