Lost and Found by Amy Shojal

Lost and Found

An autism cure will kill millions unless a service dog and his trainer find a missing child . . . in 24 hours.

AN AUNT searches for her lost nephew—and dooms her sister.

A MOM gambles a miracle will cure—and not kill—her child.

A DOG finds his true purpose—when he disobeys.

Animal behaviorist September Day has lost everything—husband murdered, career in ruins, confidence shot—and flees to Texas with her cat Macy to recover. She’s forced out of hibernation when her nephew Steven and his autism service dog Shadow disappear in a freak blizzard. When her sister trusts a maverick researcher’s promise to help Steven, September has 24 hours to rescue them from a devastating medical experiment impacting millions of children, a deadly secret others will kill to protect. As September races the clock, the body count swells. Shadow does his good-dog duty but can’t protect his boy. Finally September and Shadow forge a stormy partnership to rescue the missing and stop the nightmare cure. But can they also find the lost parts of themselves?

My review:

I have worked with quite a few autistic children in my 20 years of working with kids and I was totally in love with this book. Amy Shojal captures the essence of the autistic child and their point of view. An autistic child’s family will go to great lengths to protect and make the world a safe place for that child and I love her use of a German Shepherd a good choice- very loyal dog, as a main character. She writes a good majority of the book through the dogs (and cats) eyes for a unique perspective. A great educational mystery. You learn with out even realizing! Amy Sojal’s life experience and research adds an awesome element to the story.

Have I mentioned how much I love reviewing books? I have read so many great ones lately!
