The Summer of Lost Things: A Novel

By Jenn Bennett

Format:Softcover

"Star pupil Paige Malone just finished her first year at Harvard. Dropout Seb Jansen spent that time pumping gas for wealthy yacht owners at his father's marina on Lake Michigan. Neither has seen the other since high school. A shame, considering that they were once inseparable childhood friends who combed their coastal hometown's sun-kissed beaches along with a couple of other middle-school pals, hunting The Golden Venus, a legendary local treasure that's distantly connected to Paige's family. A treasure rumored to be worth millions of dollars. If it even existed. These days, however, the former BFFs have traded adventure for reality. Paige is home in Haven for the summer and is spiraling after losing her college financial aid. While across town, Seb fell in with a bad crowd and now regrets his life choices, big time. Both feel colossally stuck. And alone. But when Paige stumbles upon a hidden secret in her grandmother's beach cottage, she must get their old treasure-hunting gang back together to finally unravel the mystery that has eluded her family for generations--even if that means spending way too much time on the sand dunes doing dangerous things with Seb. Maybe they'll discover the real reason why two people who once shared the same dreams grew apart in the first place. Perhaps they can even rekindle their friendship. Or something more..."-- Provided by publisher.
