Q2 What Was Lost

This week I read the first 26 pages of What Was Lost by Catherine O’Flynn. The little girl the story is about at this point’s mane is Kate. I found it interesting that Kate’s family allow her to take the city bus to the Green Oaks shopping mall alone. She spends most of her days at this mall and even one night. She has no friends her own age. Her “best friend” is Adrian, a 22-year-old man who works at a shop on her street. Kate runs a detective business she calls Falcon Investigations. Her only client so far has been Adrian at his shop. He wanted her to come up with an idea that would eliminate some shoplifting. One character we have met so far in the story is Teresa. She sits next to Kate in class and has major behavioral problems. Kate notices that Teresa has busies and burn marks on her skin. I wonder what will happen with Teresa and if Kate will discover anything more about her. I find it interesting how observant Kate is. She notices little things, knows where everything is at the mall, and she is very outgoing. It seems that although her parents don’t notice where she goes very much, she is still a very independent, polite girl. She would never commit any crime because of all the time she spends hunting down her suspects. So far this book has been very interesting and I hope it continues to get better.
