A friendship born of monsters, comics, candy, and kinship, Joe and Pino are trying to hang onto their hearts of adventure while entering the frightening maw that is junior high school. Into their lives are thrust two girls, sarcastic, Jean, feisty with a cutting wit and Val, a nearly six foot teenager whose height is only less towering than her intellect. While exploring the complex sewer chambers under their town, they discover that the legend that has been haunting their town for two decades has a name. And as they begin to unravel the whys of stolen mail, disappearing sons, and banshee cries, their own lives are threatened. But it is their compassion, as well as their wits, that bring them through fear and the unknown, opening up the chambers of a long mystery that threatens to split apart their hometown. Ripe with humor, action and heart, Lost & Found reminds us of what it truly means to come home.

The Dark Hunger; a curse to deal with in a time when being different means survival is not a certainty.
