Roller Coaster ride!

I really enjoyed this book. It was quite the roller coaster ride, with exciting, frightening, joyful feelings... all throughout. I had a really hard time putting this book down...

wonderful book

I loved this book A little girl gets on the wrong train & before her little brother can get her back off it leaves. He has no idea where the train went & they can't find her. Ms. Harris is one of the greatest .

Loved it!!

I would like to say that this is probably one of the best books i have ever read. I actually got it from my grandma who had bought it at a garage sale. It keeps you stuck to it, you can't put it down. I recomend this book to people who don't like to read that much. This book makes you want to read.

Lost and Found by Marilyn Harris

Marilyn Harris is truly a story wizard! I enjoy this book so much that I am totally absorbed into the story. Her skillful manipulation of words render so much life in the characters of this enchanting novel and the development of the plot is captivating. Very few writers have the ability to evoke so much emotion within me. Her other novels are also a great pleasure to read. In fact, I have been motivated to own a full collection of her books after I stumble on the Prince of Eden when I was in high school. I think all her books are all out of print but it is worth the time to look them up.

a very entertaining look at history and people.

i am only halfway through lost and found, but i have not read a book like this, that is so very captivating -- it is also very informative -- telling about the war, the people of oklahoma, the treatment of the japanese during the war -- many good lessons on human respect -- and some very good sub-plots -- all dealing with people, life, and love ----and best of all, she doesnt feel (the author) like she has to interject sex to make the book interesting -----as i say, im only halfway through, but when i finish this one, i plan on reading the five "eden" books -----
