Verity Sparks, Lost and Found (Verity Sparks #2) 
A fantastic new detective adventure story from Australian author Susan Green.
Verity Sparks is a likable and charismatic character who young girls will love to read about.
Readers who like The Agency series will love Verity Sparks, Lost and Found and its prequel The Truth About Verity Sparks.
Review to be published in WA School Library Association journal.
I loved this book because it summed up the other book really wellIt also had a lovely good ending

Not having read the first book in this series I was grateful for snippets filling in the background on Verity and Papa Savinov and her life prior to this story. Reading the first book would definitely be a better option for younger readers.Having lost her gift of teleagtivism (the ability to find lost things) Verity wonders if it will ever come back, but she still has a remarkable memory and good powers of observation. Papa, trying to make her into a young lady, suggests no more detective work
Really enjoyable mystery book for ages 10 up. This one is set locally for me too (mt Macedon) so that was a bonus. I have gotten used to the authors style of bouncing around from mystery to mystery and really found the style of writing relaxing and easy to get involved with. I also really like verity as a character, smart, thoughtful and doesn't wear a corset. (Book is set in 1879).
I have had this lovely book on my shelves for quite some time, but had never managed to find the time to read it. Being on a panel with Susan Green at the Bendigo Writers Festival gave me the impetus I needed (I always like to read the novels of people I share a stage with).It is clear from the opening pages that I had begun reading the second in a series, which I never like to do. Susan Green does a great job of explaining back story without losing pace, however, and so I soon discovered that

Another great book. I thought it had more intrigue than the first book. (The Truth About Verity Sparks) Would have to put it in the upper primary section of the library, because of some inappropriate language.A book that is full of suspense and keeps you guessing!Review to be published in WA School Library Association journal.
