About I’m Nobody The Lost Pages:
We’re all broken on this side of heaven, but we can make beautiful things from the pieces. Agoraphobic Caleb Reed is about to step outside for the first time in seven years, meet indie filmmaker Iris Elliott…and definitely not fall in love. It’s all because of the notes, the weird and wonderful notes he keeps finding on his front porch, notes signed by someone claiming to be long dead poet Emily Dickinson. Caleb’s parents think he’s losing his mind, as always, but he knows they’re wrong. Something’s going on outside – something strange, something terrifying …something beautiful.
Read the EPIC Award nominated novel that critics are saying is “fresh”, “powerful” and “unlike anything” they’ve read. In a world full of anxiety, I’m Nobody: The Lost Pagesis a triumphant tale of faith over fear and one that kids and grown-ups of all ages will love. (A London Book Festival Honorable Mention Winner)

My thoughts:
This is a great story about a young man's anxiety and how he wins his fear with faith. I remember when I was a young girl and being afraid of dying. It was by learning to have faith in the Lord  that helped me to overcome that fear. I think this is a great book for young people who are struggling with fears of their own. I wanted my son to read the book so I could get his take on it but he has been too busy with baseball, VBS, and other projects that he has yet to read it, although he does plan to for his summer reading list. Learn more and purchase a copy here.
