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. \n\nLola's life is about to become unrecognisable. \nSo is Lola. \n\nEverything 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. \n\nCut off from everything she has known before, Lola must find a new way to survive. \n\nNow, an ordinary girl must become extraordinary. \n\n'Page-turning? - Irish Times \n\n?An enchanting story? - Daily Telegraph \n\n?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
