THE NUMBER 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER





'Hilarious and devastating. This is a story of loss and hope with one of the most vivid casts of characters I’ve come across... A great read with ballsy, brilliant writing. A joy.' Matt Haig, author of The Humans





Millie Bird is a seven-year-old girl who always wears red wellington boots to match her red, curly hair. But one day, Millie’s mum leaves her alone beneath the Ginormous Women’s underwear rack in a department store, and doesn’t come back.





Agatha Pantha is an eighty-two-year-old woman who hasn’t left her home since her husband died. Instead, she fills the silence by yelling at passers-by, watching loud static on TV, and maintaining a strict daily schedule. Until the day Agatha spies a little girl across the street.





Karl the Touch Typist is eighty-seven years old and once typed love letters with his fingers on to his wife’s skin. He sits in a nursing home, knowing that somehow he must find a way for life to begin again. In a moment of clarity and joy, he escapes.





Together, Millie, Agatha and Karl set out to find Millie’s mum. Along the way, they will discover that the young can be wise, that old age is not the same as death, and that breaking the rules once in a while might just be the key to a happy life.





Lost & Found will be adored by fans of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry; The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared; and The Rosie Project.

I haven't done the buddy thing yet and I'm not sure how it works, though.

Samantha - there's not much to it, basically everybody just comments with their thoughts as they are reading, and we chat about the book together ☺ It's pretty fun!

Ah okay. Why not. =]

I can't sign you up until you've reviewed one of the two review copies you already have Opal. Sorry, but I have to be fair to everybody.

Opal, you'll need to finish that review ASAP because I'll need to send the addresses to the publisher as soon as I've got the spaces filled.

Connie and Jordan - I have your messages, I'll leave them unread for now as I'm on my kindle, so I'll reply tomorrow when I'm on my laptop and can add you to the list ☺

Unlucky that it is only for the UK... I have a ecopy of this though so I might join the buddy read for it. I only got half way last time because it was too weird for me. Happy reading everyone!

Yes please, if you could also send me the link to your review that would be great ☺

hi Sarah, Sorry to be a bother but do you have any idea when this is being sent out? My address is changeable depending on when the book is being sent out since I'm going back to Uni soon and won't be home forever

well not forever but not before summer :/ sorry exaggerated too much!

It will probably be next week sometime, it's probably best to send it to your uni address ☺

3 copies left ☺

If anybody else is interested, please sign up here, and let me know your mailing address by Sunday Night (Goodreads Time), I'd like to get your addresses to the publisher first thing monday morning ☺
