Katy Murphy is an expert at moving. New house. New rules. New people deciding she’s too loud, too messy, or too much trouble.

She and her twin brother, Grady, call it the Family Shuffle—packing up, starting over, and trying not to get too attached. But this time, there’s one huge catch: If they can’t make this placement work, they won’t get to stay together. No pressure.

Katy is determined to be the perfect kid. She’ll follow the rules, stay out of trouble, and prove she’s worth keeping. There’s just one tiny problem. Every time Katy tries to help, something goes spectacularly wrong. Pudding flies through the air. Basset hounds pass out. Fire alarms shriek. And let’s not even mention the fish.

No matter how many mistakes she makes, Ross and Claire Bixby don’t give up on her. For the first time ever, Katy starts to wonder if maybe—just maybe—this house could feel like home. Then one unexpected ring of the doorbell changes everything. Will Katy risk believing she might finally have a place to call home … or decide it’s safer to leave before someone else decides she isn’t worth keeping?

Funny, heartfelt, and full of hope, Bixby’s Law of Lost & Found is a story about second chances, big mistakes, and learning that love isn’t something you have to earn.
