How exciting and wonderful it is to find out that there lies a place where your long lost forgotten precious toy or pen or book or anything has been just laying around. Now I’m certain that lost things deserve realm of their own and be return someday to save human ignorance.

Gertie Milk and the Keeper of Lost Things has creatively narrated the adventure ahead of one amnesiac girl transported to a deserted island unknowingly and been forced to adapt her surrounding for the duty she, herself, don’t pick but fate lead her to be. Gertie Milk, the (obvious) protagonist of the story, is such a cute name – milk, after all, is my favorite to drink or you do, too. The story is dosed up with humor and I feel that Mr. Peabody is somewhere in this book guiding Gertie – remember the movie which is also more into time traveling. Likewise, also gives the educational piece. The time traveling and that historical mixed up are something to like about this book. It really shows how Simon inserts these facts perfectly as I know it is in a historical literature which I do research just to be sure. So basically, you can learn after reading his book.

The book is quite fast read and you will enjoy every page you flip until the last bit. Adventure and action pack.

This also points outs the philosophical idea of what to be expected when one individual encounter losing his own memory. Wipe out all. Leaving no details even your own name. How he will first react after waking up with this state? May he choose to stick with the present or look past the way he used to live?

All along I love this book and through the series of time-space journey, Kolt’s cottage exploration, B. D. B. U. missions and Skuldark place. You definitely pick out this though MG, I think, you just have to read it since suits well in any age you are.
