It is a heartbreaking story and you just want to give Sami a big hug.

We follow Sami in this book and about his life in the present but, we also get snippets of his life in diary from when he fled from Syria to Britain. I adored the first book and Sami's Silver Lining followed up nicely.

Love from Lexie was the first book in the Lost and Found series and this book is the second. She has been one of my favourite authors since I was younger and I always enjoy getting her books as they are just so fun and easy to read and I always pass them down to my niece who loves them as well. I can`t wait to read Sasha`s story in the 3rd book, especially given the hints as to what issues she is facing given in this book, and frankly I`d love it if I got a book for every single member, even though this band is considerably larger than the average group. Seeing things from Sami`s perspective was so interesting, as well as utterly heart-breaking in places, and the progress he makes in coming to terms with his past and trying to build his future is so heart-warming and emotional, as is a certain unexpected event that I don`t want to spoil. In addition to this, the other main part of the plot is a truly terrible keyboard player replacing the one who was forced to leave, and this has some pretty hilarious results The members of the band are all so much fun, and I just adore all of them- my particular favourite is Marley, but I wanted things to go well for all of them, and there isn`t a single one of the core group that I don`t love. Sami is a refugee, who has only newly arrived in England, and his book sees a new relationship and his involvement in the band beginning to bring down the walls that he has built up around himself to protect him from the incredibly harrowing experiences he has had since war broke out in Syria. Much like her Chocolate Box Girls series, each book of the Lost and the Found series focuses on a different member of the titular band, and this one is Sami`s story. I have loved Cathy Cassidy`s books for a long time, and this was no exception.
