A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Fascinating (Times Educational Supplement 2007-05-04)

A Dog for Life: 'Children of eight to 11 will love it. And so did I.' (Telegraph)

A story which will keep the reader involved until its satisfyingly happy ending. (Books for Keeps)

Fish: 'An allegory grounded in remarkably tactile storytelling ... Matthews allows just enough detail - and heart - to make miracles feel possible.' (Publishers Weekly)

Stunning debut novel (The Glasgow Herald)

The Outcasts: 'this absorbing adventure story ... would provoke much useful discussion among KS3 students, both in the classroom and within a smaller book-group context.' (School Librarian)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

THE FIRST THING I remember is waking up in the woods. I didn’t know where I was, or how I got there. I didn’t know my own name. All I knew was that the little silver key hung round my neck had always been there.

This is how Lexi’s story begins. She is taken into a shelter where there are clean clothes, warm food, and, most importantly, a woman who remembers her. Safe from the wars and the dangers of the street, Lexi begins to rebuild her identity with the small pieces of the past she can fit together. Then the silver key around her neck unlocks the secrets of a life she never knew she had.

This is Lexi’s story. This is how she finds her way home.
