Description
Antsy’s life fractures the day her father dies. When a charming stranger becomes her stepfather and the house no longer feels safe, she does the bravest thing she can: she runs. The world catches her in a place called the Shop Where the Lost Things Go—an impossible store run by an elderly woman and a very opinionated magpie, threaded with doors to everywhere. Here, Antsy learns to bargain, to listen, and to travel. She also learns that magic keeps its own ledger. Every Door she opens gives her marvels and markets, but it also takes something she never agreed to pay: time. Lost in the Moment and Found is a tender, suspenseful portal fantasy about grooming and gaslighting, found family, and the hard truth that healing often starts with a single, stubborn step away. It’s about a girl who refuses to surrender her future—and finds a school where kids like her are finally understood.
