The Lost Year is a middle-grade historical fiction novel by Katherine Marsh that follows 13-year-old Matthew as he uncovers a painful family secret about his great-grandmother, Gigi, and her experience with the Holodomor, a devastating famine in Soviet Ukraine during the 1930s. The book uses parallel timelines, alternating between Matthew's pandemic-era present and Gigi's past, to tell a story of family, survival, and sacrifice. It is inspired by the author's own family history and highlights themes of friendship, communication, perseverance, and the importance of media literacy.
