Lost 02
Lost 03
The powerful story of two siblings trying to survive extreme poverty by the multi-award-winning, Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author of Boy 87 - Ele Fountain.
Lola's life is about to become unrecognisable.
So is Lola.
Everything used to be comfortable. She lived in a big house with her family, where her biggest problems were arguing with her little brother or being told she couldn't have a new phone. But as one disaster follows another, the threads of her home and family begin to unravel.
Cut off from everything she has known before, Lola must find a new way to survive.
Now, an ordinary girl must become extraordinary.
'Page-turning’ - Irish Times
‘An enchanting story’ - Daily Telegraph
‘Fountain’s deft writing avoids heavy-handed moralising, gripping the reader with fast-paced action while quietly laying out the injustice of a world where children can starve on the streets, or be brutally beaten for sitting in the wrong place’ - Guardian
