"Without you, Kay-Kay, there’s no sun, no warmth, no light. I will find you – my brother, my friend. I will find you and bring you back."\n\nWhen Lena’s beloved older brother goes missing at the end of summer camp, the bottom drops out of Lena's world. The police dismiss Kay-Kay’s disappearance as that of just another teenage runaway, but Lena knows they are wrong. Tired of not being listened to, powerless to reach her parents through their grief and unable to imagine a future without her brother in it, Lena sets off to find him. As Lena journeys across India to retrace Kay-Kay's last known steps, she embarks on a parallel journey of discovery. Because it seems there is a side to Kay-Kay she has never known. The more she learns about her brother in the weeks leading up to his disappearance, the more determined Lena is to find him – and to finally be the sister he has so clearly needed. But will she be too late…?
Dev Narvekar grew up in a sleepy hamlet near Mumbai, where she read obsessively, wrote furtively and daydreamed endlessly. She moved to London two decades ago and has worked as a Digital Technology consultant for over fifteen years. She won the Commonword Diversity YA novel prize in 2018 and her work has been listed for many other awards. She still reads obsessively and daydreams endlessly but has finally found the courage to write more openly after getting an MA, with distinction, in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University. She now works as a writer and creative writing teacher.
