When Lottie's favorite aunt dies, she leaves behind a wave of grief--and a mysterious series of letters.High school senior Lottie Reaves isn't the only one mourning her beloved aunt Helen after she succumbs to cancer--Helen is the record-selling author of the Alvin Hatter series, which follows the adventures of two immortal siblings and has achieved J.K. Rowling-level fame. But it turns out that Aunt Helen had a surprise in store for Lottie--24 letters with a sequence of challenges to help her get through her grief and fight her anxious tendencies...as well as a secret she's never revealed. As Lottie completes the missions with her best friend, Em, younger brother, Abe, and mysterious not-quite-boyfriend Sam, she learns more about her aunt, herself, and the natures of life, death, and time than she ever expected. Excerpts from Alvin Hatter books give readers a taste of the books that captured the world, and diversity is seamlessly integrated throughout the book-- mixed-race Lottie has a Peruvian mom and a white dad, and her white best friend is a lesbian with an unaccepting mother. Lottie's anxieties are discussed in a gentle yet candid manner, and her close-knit relationship with her family members is refreshing and realistic. A charming and sophisticated take on handling grief with a mystical twist ending that is sure to engage teens nostalgic for the magic of reading Harry Potter or Tuck Everlasting for the first time. (Fiction. 13-18)

Gr 7 Up-Helen Reaves was the world-renowned author of the books about the immortal Hatter children. After the eccentric writer dies from cancer, her niece Lottie is saddened. However, before Helen passed, she created a scavenger hunt as a way to say goodbye to Lottie. As each envelope is opened, a secret about Helen's life is revealed and a task is put before the protagonist. The game slowly pulls Lottie out of her overly cautious lifestyle and challenges her to live a little. When the hunt leads Lottie to the mysterious Sam, her life is turned upside down, and she throws caution to the wind. Told from Lottie's point of view and through a series of letters written to Lottie from her aunt, this is a compelling novel and a wonderful story about loss, anxiety, love, and the importance of a life well lived. VERDICT The perfect beach read for any teen. Recommend to fans of Maureen Johnson's 13 Blue Envelopes, Natalie Babbitt's Tuck Everlasting, or Laura Ruby's Bone Gap.-Ellen Fitzgerald, Naperville Public Library, IL

Grades 9-12 Cautious, predictable Lottie has always had a plan for her life, but it gets thrown to the wind when her beloved and wild Aunt Helen passes away and leaves her 24 letters containing instructions that lead to secrets, love, and self-discovery. Aunt Helen isn't just the source of entertaining summers and happy memories; she's also the best-selling author of the most popular children's books of all time, the Alvin Hatter series. Spurred on by tasks as harmless as don't be afraid to let yourself cry and as reckless as do something you're not supposed to do, Lottie discovers her aunt's extraordinary secret past that inspired her books, and she rushes headfirst into a love that comes with major strings attached. Scattered with insightful excerpts from the Alvin Hatter series, Leno's (The Lost & Found, 2016) latest novel borrows some narrative inspiration from Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl (2013) and a little magic from Natalie Babbitt's Tuck Everlasting (1975) to create a truly captivating tale about grief and the affirming power of self-examination.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
