Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #291: Lost and Found by Orson Scott Card


"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From Goodreads:

“Are you really a thief?”

That’s the question that has haunted fourteen-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he’s not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower—a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel’s micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl. When tragedy strikes, it’s up to Ezekiel to use his talent to find what matters most.

Master storyteller Orson Scott Card delivers a touching and funny, compelling and smart novel about growing up, harnessing your potential, and finding your place in the world, no matter how old you are.
 


Lost and Found by Orson Scott Card is expected to be published September 10th, 2019 by Blackstone Publishing.

Why am I waiting on this one? I've enjoyed other things that I've read by Orson Scott Card. This will be the first YA book by him that I will read. It sounds like urban fantasy and that is one genre that I really enjoy. I like the description of a micropower and I wonder if he will be able to use it the way he wants. 

What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

  1. Such an interesting concept! (I have to confess though, I actually thought he'd passed away!)
