What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In haunting and lyrical prose Dunbar beautifully and accurately captures a generation.” - Tom Wilinsky, co-author of Snowsisters
“Dunbar painstakingly populates the narrative with 1980s references-particularly to music-creating a vivid historical setting… A painful but ultimately empowering queer history lesson.” - Kirkus Reviews
“A suggested purchase for libraries housing a special collection of LGBTQ+ works.” - School Library Journal
“Dunbar paints a broad and accurate portrait of the pain of the times through a series of emotional snapshots.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“It’s a certain type of magic that Helene Dunbar managed with this story… A hauntingly beautiful, yet scarring story that captures the struggles of figuring out who you are while facing the uncertainties of the world, a story that should be mandatory reading for all.” - The Nerd Daily
“This YA novel provides an interesting way for youth of all backgrounds to explore a dark history that is rarely discussed.” - Washington Blade
“We Are Lost and Found absolutely sparkles… she so perfectly, so evocatively captures the angst, uncertainty, and shaky self-confidence of adolescence that it might make you wince.” - Echo Magazine
“Michael’s journey of growth and self-acceptance, with all its drama, confusion, and raw emotion, is one that many teens will be able to identify with…regardless of sexuality or gender” - Booklist
