The Everything I Have Lost is a remarkable coming of age story. This was a heartbreaking and heartfelt account told in diary entries. I felt like the themes and plot in this may be too much for some younger readers but it would be a great book and conversation starter to read as parent and child.

I really enjoyed this book as a whole and the message in the end was poignant, moving and tear-jerking but also very inspiring. The audio was fantastic and very easy to listen to and I highly recommend listening to this one. Overall this is one of the most surprising middle grades I have ever read and it was definitely memorable and I can see myself recommending this one to many people and families.

Thanks to Netgalley and OrangeSky Audio for an ALC. All opinions are honest and my own.
