Description
Lexi remembers nothing - not even her name. Waking in the forest, she has only one clue: the tiny silver key on a chain round her neck. Drawn in by the city, she meets the children of the streets. Their dangerous world is full of myths: the Warrior Angels, the Scarlet Prince ...And so begins Lexi's search for her lost memories ...
Reviews / Votes
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.'
