Helene Dunbar

“…Dunbar invokes small-town intrigue and plentiful atmosphere with this haunting, romantic tale.” - Publishers Weekly

“…It has the feel of a gothic story and the hook of a haunted house…Painfully evocative in the best way.” - Tor.Com

“…the story may resonate with readers who have experienced loss. A quietly compelling story.” - Kirkus Reviews

“…a charming small town boasts spiritualism and secret societies…St Hilaire, a port in the storm for visitors, is also a prison for some of its year-round inhabitants, including the ghosts who roam the streets. Small-town staples…blend with the supernatural to create a unique backdrop for this paranormal mystery… three teenagers find unexpected answers in a town where not only the dead are haunted.” - Forward Reviews

“ We Are Lost and Found absolutely sparkles...

...Readers who endured the ‘80s as young adults, however, might see this novel as eerily biographical: author Helene Dunbar offers sly reminders of evolving social attitudes, of the times (movie tickets: $3.50. Preposterous!), of teen friendships and love, and of the beginning of the AIDS crisis – memories that are forgotten, or best forgotten. This, she does as she so perfectly, so evocatively captures the angst, uncertainty, and shaky self-confidence of adolescence that it might make you wince.

Give this book to a 14-to-18-year-old, but be sure to borrow it back. Better yet, read it together. We Are Lost and Found is for you both, and missing it would really stink.”

”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.”
