The Lost Girl of Astor Street by Stephanie Morrill

I could not wait to read Stephanie Morrill‘s latest release, The Lost Girl of Astor Street. I knew I’d love it because I love Stephanie’s other titles (see my reviews of those below!).
I was right. The Lost Girl of Astor Street blew me away for so many reasons.
The attention to historical detail was flawless; I felt like I was walking up Astor Street in Chicago right along with Piper!

The mystery of Piper’s missing friend drew me in from Page One and kept me flipping pages as fast as I could right up until the end. If you love a good mystery, make sure you snag a copy of this book!
The budding romance between Piper and a certain handsome detective never overwhelmed the story but added an intriguing element—intertwined with an unflinching look at hard truths about family, loyalty, friendship, and love. I can’t recommend The Lost Girl of Astor Street highly enough to readers who love YA fiction, mysteries, or really great books that stick with you long after you’ve closed the cover.

About the Author

Stephanie Morrill is the author of several young adult novels, including the 1920’s mystery, The Lost Girl of Astor Street (February 2017, Blink/HarperCollins). Despite loving cloche hats and drop-waist dresses, Stephanie would have been a terrible flapper because she can’t do the Charleston and looks awful with bobbed hair. She and her near-constant ponytail live in Kansas City with her husband and three kids. You can learn more about her on her author site: StephanieMorrill.com. She is also the founder of my favorite writing website, Go Teen Writers.
