\nBook Summary: \;
\nVanessa isn't sure which happened first: finding the abandoned mu seum or losing her best friend\, Bailey. She doesn't know what to do with herself now that Bailey has left her behind-but when she stumbles upon an empty forgotten museum\, her purpose becomes clear. Vanessa starts filling the museum with her own artifacts and memories\, hoping perhaps if she ca n find the right way to tell the story of her broken friendship\, she can figure out how to make it whole again. \;
\nAs Vanessa's museum grows\, it seems like the place might have the answers to other questions\ , too. Like why a mysterious work of art was left behind. Or how to deal w ith a military dad who's trying to parent from thousands of miles away. Or why Vanessa's bad habit is getting harder and harder to quit. Or even\, m aybe\, how to set the past to rest and find a way to move forward. \;< /p>\n
Moving and charming\, The Museum of Lost and Found \; is about how we grow apart from some people as we grow up-and how sometime s we can new pieces of ourselves in the aftermath. \;
