Praise for The Found Boys

  • “S. D. Smith’s first step into realistic fiction is a beautiful story of forgiveness and reconciliation wrapped in his signature vintage adventure...As with many books that matter, this is not a “safe” title for those who do not want to venture into deep, sometimes heavy subjects such as race, forgiveness, and reconciliation.”

     

    Good Book Mom

  • “I ordered The Found Boys without really knowing much about the story but knowing my family would enjoy the story over and over because that’s the kind of stories Smith writes. This story sparked many important conversations and has become a jumping off point for learning more about racism, friendship, and loyalty.”

     

    Vhill

  • “The Found Boys feels like a call back to a bygone era that I'd love to see return. It's enjoyable as an adult in a throwback mindset and enjoyable for the middle-grade kids in a fun straightforward adventure story. The story does a great job of setting the characters off in a fun, almost glib sort of way, the sort of daytime adventure that I remember having exploring creeks and running through woods as kids."
