The Labyrinth of Lost and Found

By: Jordan Lees

Narrated by: Nathaniel Curtis

A #1 New York Times bestseller!

Doll Bones meets Skandar and the Unicorn Thief in this spooky, middle grade novel about a boy who doesn’t believe in magic discovering a supernatural world full of danger.

It began with a crack in the wall.

Eleven-year-old Benjamiah Creek believes in science, logic, and the power of reason. He definitely does not believe in magic. But when he receives a mysterious doll in the mail—a doll that can transform into a bird—he is led into an impossible (and most definitely magical) realm: Wreathenwold.

Wreathenwold is dangerous and holds many secrets within its labyrinthine walls—magi prowl, Hanged Men stalk, and at the center of its shifting streets lurks the Minotaur, a beastly creature and object of terror. In no time at all, Benjamiah is swept into a perilous adventure with the fierce and brilliant Elizabella, a girl determined to solve the disappearance of her missing brother, who may be caught up in a decades-old conspiracy that could doom them all.

Will Benjamiah ever find his way home? Or will he be lost forever in the labyrinth?

Read & Listened in 2 Days

I was in a reading slump and I saw The Whisperwicks on a table at Barnes & Noble. I took a chance and I am so glad I did. There are Diagon Alley and Neil Gaiman vibes and a little V.E. Schwab, as well. This was outstanding. I highly recommend it!

A beautiful spooky tale

From the very first words, I knew this would be a good story, read by a talented reader. I won’t spoil any of it, by telling you my favorite parts. Let me just say, read it or listen to it. You ‘ll be glad you did!

Engaging adventure with excellent narration.

A really fun adventure that teetered on creepy but never actually went there. The story flowed at a steady pace with good character development and a solid mystery that carried throughout. Great narration as well. I will be checking out book 2.

Everything!!!

The book is perfect, narrator is perfect. There is nothing that could be better! This authors imagination is amazing and you are able to viausalize everything he is talking about absolute!

Very enjoyable once you get into it

Initially it felt too familiar à-la The Book of Lost Things and The Golden Compass, but I decided to stick with it and I am glad that I did. It was a relaxing book to listen to on my daily commute and I am considering the sequel (always a good sign!)
