Book Review By Arenia
The Lost One by Lynne Ewing

Fifteen-year-old Tianna Moore awakens one morning to find that she has no idea who or where she is. She goes to La Brea High School on impulse only to discover four girls her age who take up an unsettling interest in her. Tiannna slowly gathers clues to who she is from the conversations she has with fellow students until she looks up her student information in the school nurses computer. She finds that she was supposedly a runaway, skipping from one foster home to another. She also finds that she has the gift of telekinesis.

Tianna finds her home and foster mother. Then, after being home only for a short time, Tianna is kidnapped by the Followers, a group of teens followers of an evil force called the Atrox. While trying to escape from the basement the Followers locked her in, Tianna falls, and, as a result, regains all of her memory.

Later on in the book, Tianna gets more accquainted with the four girls who had followered her around when she was at La Brea High, and is made, like them, into a goddess, a Daughter of the Moon.
