Lost

THE POWERFUL STORY OF TWO SIBLINGS TRYING TO SURVIVE EXTREME POVERTY BY THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF REFUGEE 87

LOLA'S LIFE IS ABOUT TO BECOME UNRECOGNISABLE. SO IS LOLA.

Everything used to be comfortable. Lola 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."Succeeds as a page-turning survival adventure and as an indictment of global capitalism’s brutality… Suspenseful and gripping… a fable of hope in harrowing conditions."
