Lost & Found [Paperback] Davis, Brooke

Seven-year-old Millie Bird's mother abandons her in a department store. Instead of panic, Millie starts collecting the things people lose — single gloves, love notes, discarded memories. She teams up with two unlikely companions: Karl, an 87-year-old widower fleeing his retirement home, and Agatha, a woman who hasn't left her apartment in months. Together, this mismatched trio embarks on a chaotic road trip across Western Australia, searching for Millie's mother and, somewhere along the way, rediscovering what it means to be found. Brooke Davis writes with heartbreaking clarity about loss and loneliness, but this debut is anything but bleak — it's funny, strange, and radiantly hopeful. A book about people who've been left behind learning how to move forward. For readers who loved *The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry* or anyone who needs a reminder that connection can happen in the strangest places.
