• “Will keep readers hooked from the first sentence to the last.

  — Library Journal

• “Narrator Cassandra Morris captures Dolly’s youthful exuberance with ease, fairly hopscotching through Dolly’s ‘advanced’ vocabulary and self-proclaimed wealth of knowledge and skill.”

• A slim road trip into mystery firmly in the vein of Emma Donoghue's Room...Dolly is a funny and surprisingly substantive little girl, and an acute observer of human behavior...Surprisingly emotional.

  — Vanessa Friedman, New York Times Book Review

• Sacks proves herself a master of slow-burn suspense...The tension in this emotionally nuanced novel comes not from the question of what Dolly's father actually did...but from where this physical journey and mental unfolding may take them, and what might be lost along the way. Michelle Sacks's All the Lost Things delivers a poignant portrayal of a child in the midst of unthinkable circumstances.

  — Alice Martin, Shelf Awareness

• Sacks's second novel is another family drama tinged with psychological suspense...Dolly's unreliability as a narrator, owing to the simple fact that she is a child, adds suspense and results in a surprising twist.

  — Kathy Sexton, Booklist

• A searing first novel. A picture-perfect family leading picture-perfect lives is gradually, unnervingly unpeeled.
