The Beautiful Lost
The Beautiful Lost | Luanne Rice
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Here are three things to know about Maia: 1. Ever since her mother left, Maia's struggled with depression -- which once got so bad, she had to go to an institution for a while. She doesn't want to go back. 2. Maia's sure that if she finds her mother, if the two of them can talk about whale songs and constellations, then everything will be okay again. 3. She's in love with Billy, the handsome, brooding boy who lives in the group home in town. He doesn't seem to know that Maia exists... until now. When Maia sets off on a road trip in search of her mom, Billy unexpectedly comes along. They drive up the East Coast, stopping along the way for lobster rolls and lighthouses. Maia learns that Billy has dark secrets of his own -- and wants to outrun his past, too. But what will the future hold if they reach their destination? From internationally bestselling author Luanne Rice, this is a sweeping, stunning story about the surprising directions our hearts can take.

It's that time again for the SWON Teen Reading Challenge. This story started off rough but it did get better. Its about depression, young love, and family relationships. I think teens would really enjoy this book.

The Beautiful Lost by Luanne Rice is a RF novel. Teens and adults would love this book. I encourage you to read this book if you haven‘t. The Beautiful Lost tells a story about Maia, a girl who struggles with depression who takes off on a road trip in search of her mother. She falls in love with this boy, Billy. Billy runs away with her to help find her mother. This is a really good book to read if you have ever struggled with depression before.

Aimeejett I think hearing someone else‘s story about it can help turn yours around. The UDL principle 9.3 develop self-assessment and reflection along with EL 3 encourage self-talk (positive thinking) could be met for this novel. I think it is important to self-asses and talk to yourself about this book because it could be based on very personal feelings and beliefs.

SavannahP0930 I have never heard of this book before but now that I have I want to read it. It's very important to read about things people struggle with every day. 7y
DrSpalding Rice is an acclaimed author. Obviously an appropriate high school read and possibly a good read for your peers.😀 7y
DrSpalding I love the banter back and forth between you and Madison! You both did such a beautiful job on this project. You should be proud! You supported one another well. 7y
