The first book in the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling series!

Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has a secret. She is a Telepath, and has the unique ability to hear the thoughts of everyone around her – something that she's never known how to explain, and has made her an outcast, even in her own family.

But everything changes the day she meets Fitz, a mysterious boy who appears out of nowhere and also reads minds. She discovers there's somewhere she does belong, and staying where she is will put her in grave danger. In the blink of an eye, Sophie is forced to leave behind everything and start a new life in a world that is vastly different to her own.

Sophie has new rules and skills to learn, and not everyone is thrilled with her "homecoming". There are secrets buried deep in Sophie's memory, secrets that other people desperately want.

Would even kill for . . .

This book has left me speechless, I simply adored everything in it.
from her adorable pet - sorry no spoilers- and awsume animals. to prattle's pins. NOTE: if those are really somthing i can collect, I'm in!
this series is what I'v been serching for since I fell in love with reading and became a bookworm.
This is a series in the highest place of honour in my favorites book shelf.

How does this book have.a five star rating?! Its
1. A massive rip-off of Harry Potter
2.INCREDIBLY cliched
3. Very heteronormative
Lets start with our main character, a #specialsnowflake named Sophie! A super-genius, photographic memory, very skinny, blonde, white girl who doesnt fit in :(((( WhAT a tradgedy.
And guess what? She has MagICAl PoWeRs. *coughcoughHaryPottercough* Also, she's an elf. But OH NO! She doesnt fit in with ELVES either? Could it be that her EYES ARE THE WRONG COLOUR??!!?!! OH NO!!!!!
Yeah.
Sophie goes on to figure out that not only does she have multiple powers; but theyre SUPER STRONG AND DID I MENTION SHES SUPER TALENTED AT... E V E R Y T H I N G?
The plot is everywhere and you literlly dont give a crap about it until the end, and even then its somewhat sketchy and you just want to finish the friggin book already arghh.
Next we have Sophies cruuuuuushes.
Sophie: *sees white male that is slightly attractive to heterosexual females*
White Male: *says max. three words to S*
Sophie *twilight levels of pining*
Not to mention EVERYONE has a crush on Sophie. And obviously someone's out to get sophie.

AND she doesnt listen to any authorities and gets away with literally anything. So yeah, would definitely not reccomend this crap of a book..

real page turner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2020

From the moment she stood up in class and corrected her teacher I knew that sophie had the most complicated background (She was a 12yr old in one of the highest years high school). the book has so much ation, so much emotion and so much suspense that no matter how many times someone asks you to stop reading you cant help flip to the next page then the next then the next.
most of the characters Messenger puts in the book are totally realistic. Keefe in particular was my favorite character (along with sophie and biana) he would sometimes make you want to smack him so hard you'd leave a mark and sometimes his sarcastic comments would make you
throw your head back and laugh.

i recomend it to anyone that is reading this review.

a magical and whimsical MG perfect for friends of Harry Potter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2020

A magical and whimsical MG perfect for fans of Harry Potter (as it says on the cover).

The story of Sophie Foster discovering who she is and getting into crazy hijinks throughout the school year as friendships form and her life is inevitably put in danger. A classic story with added interest and fun thrown in, making it a truly wonderful book to read.

The world building is incredible and the idea of a series of hidden cities intrigues me immensely and I cannot wait to see how Shannon Messenger continues this lovely, whimsical series because I for one need to know what happens to Sophie and Dex and all the other students at Foxfire!

So close to 5* except....

There might be a rant somewhere in this review, you have been warned.
Ok, I'm not really the target audience but, I really like this book, I don't give out four star ratings if I'm not going to carry on with the series. The world building worked for me, it wasn't overly descriptive. I enjoyed the many varied personalities you get to see in this book. Some characters happily reminded me from other books I've read, Fitz - Edward Cullen, Dex - Ron Weasley, Keefe - Adrian Ivashkov. It did remind me a little of Harry Potter but not so much that I enjoyed it any less, there are always going to be similarities because Harry Potter came first, but Keeper Of the Lost Cities is definetly original and stands out on its own two feet.
Now for the reason of the one less star, the instant crush! When I opened this book I wasn't expecting any love, I know it's not love, but there were so many heart flutterings! I'm so worried because I can predict who Sophie is going to end up with, I hope I'm wrong! Or just keep'er single (sorry couldn't resist) Just wish it hadn't happened so fast (compared to Harry Potter where there are no crushes for the first couple of books) this is only the first book and the second and third are already out, I've started this series late and there are probably so many relationship developments in the following books that I have to wait for till I get my hands on them!
Overall, a fun story, with a cute cover.

Incredible start to an incredible series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2019

Verified Purchase

This is book one of (at the time of writing this) 9 book series, and without it I would never have gotten into the wonderful world of Keeper of the Lost Cities. When I was 9, my mother bought me this book and I instantly fell in love, with the grounded start before evolving into a mystical world of incredible things. The book picks up pace with the mystery of Prentice, and upon rereading the moments between characters are heartwarming. I love every single part of it, and when it gets to the climax I'm fully invested in the series.

The rest of the books continue at this high standard, and this is perfect for anyone who likes Harry Potter, Percy Jackson or Artemis Fowl.
