Introduction

What do a suburban mom, her troubled daughter, divorced brothers, former child stars, born-again Christians, and young millionaires have in common? They have all been selected to compete on LOST AND FOUND, the daring new reality show. In teams of two, they will race across the globe--from Egypt to England, from Japan to Sweden--to battle for a million-dollar prize. They must decipher encrypted clues, recover mysterious artifacts, and outwit their opponents to stay in play.
Yet what started as a lark turns deadly serious as the number of players is whittled down, temptations beckon, and the bonds between partners strain and unravel. The question now is not only who will capture the final prize, but at what cost.

I didn't expect to like this very much. The premise is that a group of various characters (and yes! I mean CHARACTERS!) are on a reality TV show. I hate reality TV but this was a clever idea. It's a... (read more)

"True to life portrayal of flawed characters competing in a reality show.."by Ann M. (see profile) 11/14/07

This book stimulated lots of discussion re: TV, reality shows, homosexuality, parenting teens, religion. A fun read, but with enough underlying issues to have a compelling discussion.
