Book description
Alright, let me tell you about this gem from Seanan McGuire - and yes, I'm still glowing after listening to it.
Lost in the Moment and Found is pure magic wrapped in an audiobook package. I went in thinking it was just another portal fantasy, but wow, McGuire absolutely wrecked me in the best possible way.
The story follows Antsy, who works at this mystical shop where all lost things end up - your missing socks, forgotten toys, those headphones you swore you'd take care of this time. Sounds whimsical, right? Until you realize her father is among the lost things, and she's stuck in this liminal space between worlds.
What really got to me was how McGuire tackles the weight of growing up. This isn't just some adventure through magical doors - it's about that moment when you realize childhood can't be reclaimed, no matter how many portals you step through. The audiobook format really amplifies this bittersweet feeling, especially with the narrator's delivery.
The writing is quintessential McGuire: sharp, imaginative, and emotionally devastating. She builds this entire universe around the concept of lost things, and every minute of it feels necessary. The pacing is perfect for audio - you get these little moments of wonder mixed with genuine heartbreak.
Honestly, this might be my favorite in the Wayward Children series. It's accessible enough to work as a standalone, but it'll definitely make you want to revisit the earlier books. Just don't start it if you're not ready to sit through the whole thing in one go - I couldn't stop listening.
The audiobook production quality is excellent too, which helps when you're dealing with multiple world-hopping sequences. Trust me, add this to your queue.
