Why read it?
1 author picked Lost Kites and Other Treasures as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read this book right after I’d finished Kyra, Just for Today, and I couldn’t help but think that the star of this book, Franny, would be a great friend for Kyra. They’re both stuck in difficult situations that require them to do more than a kid should have to do. I always resonate with that kind of character because I was forced into more responsibility than I wanted at that age, too, as so many kids are.
I loved the buoyancy of this story and watching Franny find her way through the mess.
From Sara's list on not sugarcoating childhood.
