"In haunting and lyrical prose Dunbar beautifully and accurately
captures a generation." - Tom Wilinsky, co-author of

"Dunbar painstakingly populates the narrative with 1980s
references-particularly to music-creating a vivid historical
setting... A painful but ultimately empowering queer history
lesson." - Kirkus Reviews

LGBTQ+ works." - School Library Journal
"Dunbar paints a broad and accurate portrait of the pain of the
times through a series of emotional snapshots." - Bulletin of the

"It's a certain type of magic that Helene Dunbar managed with this
story... A hauntingly beautiful, yet scarring story that captures
the struggles of figuring out who you are while facing the
uncertainties of the world, a story that should be mandatory
reading for all." - The Nerd Daily
"This YA novel provides an interesting way for youth of all
backgrounds to explore a dark history that is rarely discussed." -
Washington Blade
"We Are Lost and Found absolutely sparkles... she so perfectly, so
evocatively captures the angst, uncertainty, and shaky
self-confidence of adolescence that it might make you wince." -
Echo Magazine
"Michael's journey of growth and self-acceptance, with all its
drama, confusion, and raw emotion, is one that many teens will be
able to identify with...regardless of sexuality or gender" -
