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




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.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Lost is a breathless, thrilling adventure, a story to make your heart beat faster. Lola is a wonderful girl, resourceful, brave and loyal, and I desperately wanted her to find her way home A gripping tale of a young girl lost in a concrete jungle. It shows how hope, determination and friendship can win through, even in the most challenging environment This book will arouse compassion for society's lost, reminding readers how small the difference may be between them and us Fountain writes with verisimilitude and verve. Novels are works of imagination and this book's compassion overrides any questions about the 'right to write' Ele Fountain's vivid page-turner conjures the world of street children with empathy and compassion 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 This gripping, poignant and timely novel shines a humane light on the deep inequalities of our world as two children search for family, friendship and the safe, loving heart of home Page-turning Praise for Boy 87 Exceptional... vivid, convincing and empathetic... it grips us with the need to know how the heart-stopping events will turn out Full of tension, fear, heartbreak and hope, it conveys both the bitterness of having family, home and identity stolen away piecemeal, and a courageous determination to survive A remarkable debut novel... while being an incredibly timely read, above all, Boy 87 is about friendship and hope

“Brilliant and important”

I was a huge fan of Ele Fountain’s first book, Boy 87 (a hugely under-rated upper-MG must-read if you ask me) so I was really excited about this.

We meet Lola as she searches for her brother, Amit, after they’ve... More
