Meena Lost and Found by Karla Manternach

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thank you Karla Manternach and Simon Schuster Books for Young Readers for sharing this book with the LitReviewCrew in exchange for an honest review. I have not read the other books in the Meena series, but it was really easy to read without having the backstory from the previous books. I will say, I will definitely be reading the earlier books because Meena was so fun! I loved her love of trash and upcycling and how connected she is to everything-I totally related to it. I am a teacher and my classroom has EVERYTHING because you never know when you will need it! Along with the humor and the trash, there are some deep issues such as being a big sister and being a good friend.
3 things I loved about Meena Lost and Found:
1-The need for control-I could feel Meena’s anxiety
2-Saving-both her friendship and her things she values
3-Creativity-the things she makes out of trash! So cool.
I hope you grab a copy of Meena!
