The Book that finds you. The Lost Story by Meg Schaffer

There are books you choose and books that choose you.

The Lost Story chose me at exactly the right moment. And I think it will choose you too.

It's a fairy tale for grown-ups who still knock on the back of wardrobes — just in case. Inspired by Narnia but entirely its own world. Two boys who went missing in a West Virginia forest for six months, reappearing with no explanation for where they'd been. Fifteen years later, still carrying the secret of what they found in those woods — and what they left behind.

It's about what happens when you return from a magical place and have to live in the ordinary world again. About the things we lose and spend our whole lives trying to get back. About love that waits even when it has no reason to.

I read it and felt something unlock in me.

This is a book about awakening. About the moment you stop pretending the magic wasn't real. About choosing, finally, to go back for what you left in the forest.

It will make you believe in impossible things. And isn't that exactly what March is for.

Find it here — and then clear your weekend.
