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.
