Zarr, Sara Once Was Lost, 217 p. Little, Brown, 2009.
Content: G (I think there were two swears).
Sometimes Sam is just tired of being the preacher’s daughter. Her mom has been hospitalized for a drinking problem, things are falling apart at home and her preacher Dad doesn’t even seem to notice. Add in a missing girl from the congregation and Sam’s life just gets more and more muddled. It doesn’t help that the pretty, young youth director seems to be getting too close to Sam’s dad and Sam’s crisis of faith becomes full blown. Sam is going to have to get her dad’s attention some how.
There are been some wonderful crisis of faith books lately – Confessions of a Closet Catholic, Donut Days, Converting Kate – and this is right up there with them. Sam is engaging without being oppressive, charming without be insufferable. This book has just been added to my list of the three sweetest books of the summer.
MS – ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Cindy, Library-Teacher
