Book cover: The Shape of Lost Things by Sarah Everett. Cover features a tweenage Black girl in a pink shirt. She has shoulder-length braids and a camera on a strap around her neck. Behind her is an incomplete puzzle with a slightly older Black boy in a yellow hoodie. Puzzle pieces of his face and body are missing.
