They were not abandoned. They were hidden.
Thirteen-year-old Jonah Pryce has learned never to unpack. Homes change. People leave. Hoping only makes it harder.
Jonah has also always heard rain where no rain is falling - the secret sound of other people's sadness. Then his only friend vanishes from the Fairbridge Home for Children, and every adult says he ran away. Jonah knows better. He heard him.
A mysterious old woman offers Jonah a place at Merrick House - a ruin to the outside world, but warm, strange, and very much alive, with four other gifted children waiting inside. For the first time in his life, Jonah may belong somewhere.
But these children were hidden for a reason. Someone patient and polite is searching for them - someone who can take nothing that isn't freely given, and has never once needed to. And Jonah's missing friend may be closer than anyone realizes.
Book One of The Found Children. For readers 10-14. Perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Mysterious Benedict Society.
