MG Contemporary: A Field Guide to Getting Lost

 

A Field Guide To Getting Lost

by Joy McCullough

Atheneum 

2020

209 pages

ISBN: 9781534438491


Readers who love alternating characters and point of view will enjoy this easy to read middle grade contemporary. Two very different kids: Sutton, a science girl who lives with her dad and Luis, an shy but creative introvert find themselves forced to become friends (or at least allies) when since their parents are dating. 

Luis would much rather bury his head in fiction and stories and Sutton would rather code and tinker with robotics. When they find themselves lost and alone in a huge park while hiking with their parents. It'll take both of them to find their way to safety because after all, two heads are better than one. 

A sweet story of two parents who find each other and date, fall in love and make it work for their children. Lower middle grade; grades 3-5. The characters are ten-years old, and most MG readers over grade five may find this book too young for them. 

Grades 3-5; lower middle grade.
