A laugh-through-your-tears middle grade novel about what itâs like to lose something precious. For fans of the Three Rancheros series by Kate DiCamillo.
A necklace. A bugle. A lion statue. What do they have to do with each other? Absolutely nothing unless youâre Tildy, Leon, or Nell. These items matter an awful lot to them. Not because of what they are, but whatâand whoâthey represent.
Anatomy of Lost Things shares the crisscrossing stories of Tildy, Leon, and Nell, of the impossible losses theyâve each recently faced, and the unexpected histories of their prized objects. Written with heartbreaking honesty and humor, this novel unfolds in the tender space that exists between staggering loss and the start of recovery, and it finds plenty of hope and laughter waiting there.
