The Lost Year
from Reading With Your Kids Podcast · host Jedlie
Katherine Marsh is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her powerful #MiddleGrade #Novel The Lost Year. Katherine tells us in the Lost Year we meet thirteen-year-old Matthew who is miserable. His journalist dad is stuck overseas indefinitely, and his mom has moved in his one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother to ride out the Covid pandemic, adding to his stress and isolation. But when Matthew finds a tattered black-and-white photo in his great-grandmother's belongings, he discovers a clue to a hidden chapter of her past—one that will lead to a life-shattering family secret. Set in alternating timelines that connect the present day to the 1930s and the US to the USSR, Katherine Marsh's latest novel sheds fresh light on the Holodomor—the horrific famine that killed millions of Ukrainians, which the Soviet government covered up for decades.
