Lost and Found

By Orson Scott CardLexile = 700Orson Scott Card is a super famous author. He was won many important awards for his fantasy and science fiction novels. But I can't imagine that he will win awards for this novel aimed at young adult readers. I think Card should stick to "adult" novels. Kids don't talk as portrayed in Lost and Found. HIs characters philosophize and banter with adults in the way Card portrays. I recall being told when I worked at a bookstore, "If the author's  name is bigger than the title on the cover, you know that we're trying to sell it based on the author's name alone." So TRUE!  Marking this as a stinker. Sorry, Mr. Card.
