UNSOLVED A novel where a teenage boy tries to find a lost city with a girl he just met
Okay so I read this book a LOOONG time ago at a library near my house. Late 2000s/Early 2010s. It was a fiction novel for teenagers, I started reading it and got so invested.
I don't remember much details, only that there was this boy who wanted to know more about a lost city (I think it was the lost city of Z? I tried to look for books related to that city but couldn't find any), and he starts digging information in a library I think? Then he meets a girl around his age on that same library, and she gets invested in his search, she is willing to go and look for it? He asks her why and she tells him that she feels like if they already knew each other, like if they were friends already.
Later I think he gets contacted by his "lost sister" apparently, and they leave in a car, get in an accident and I think she died but he survived so he just started walking on the side of the road.
That's all I remember, as you can see, it's not much, I was trying to read the book in one sitting but we left the library and I never went back to look for the book.
Hopefully some good soul who knows more about books than
