Daniel, I just thought of another 'Lost Book' it may be worth reviewing
if you can find a copy of it. Apostle From Space by Gordon L. Harris
ISBN 0882702815. It is not a great book but definitely worth a read.

Do you remember "The People" Zenna Henderson created way back when, maybe
50s or 60s? I think there were only 2 collections of these stories:
_Pilgrimage_ and _The People: No Different Flesh_. They're wonderful old
stories with a decency, a spirituality, and an intelligence that I usually
don't find combined in the same story. (Card's work manages to bring them
together frequently. e.g. "Gert Fram"). I like to share Henderson's
stories with bright children as soon as their reading skills are up to
coping with them. One of them -- "Gilead" -- won a Hugo, i think.
These aren't novels, but they ARE "Lost Books" only available in the used
book stores (where I buy them up every time I spot one).

I just finished reading a book: The Giver by Lois Lowry.
Although not
a lost book, it is probably overlooked by many adults due it's marketing
to a juvenile audience. It won the Newberry Award in 1995. If you
haven't read it track it down and do so. It is less than 200 pages. It
is really a gem.
