King of the Lost and Found by John Lekich

Review by Sam A.

King of the Lost and Found, by John Lekich, is the story of a kid named Raymond J. Dunne. Raymond seems like a normal kid, but as normal goes he is way off. Raymond has an unrecorded disorder, he sneezes, has nose bleeds, and, weirdest of all, he faints. He's been called everything: Speed bump, Freakshow, The Human Rug, and Drop Dead Dunne. The only thing he hasn't been called is what he wants to be called the most: "cool."

Raymond reaches out to Jack Alexander, a troubled 12th grader who is the star of the basketball team, for friendship. But when all of a sudeen the portrait of Percy Hargrave is stolen, everything gets out of whack and Raymond gets closer to Jack than he ever thought he would. On the raod of being cool, raymond changes for the worst. he starts lying left and right, even to Mr. Bludhowski and his dad. Which life will he pick at the end, the popular life with jack Alexander, or the lost and found life with Mr. Bludhowski? Which life will he betray?

This is a great book filled with suspense, hilarity, and wonder. I recom end this book to any reader who loves a great tale.
