Lost Property

Josh's life appears perfect - he does well at school, plays in a band, has a girlfriend, and a summer job. But his family is falling apart, since his older brother Michael, left without a word to the family. Josh comes across a clue to Michael's whereabouts and decides to take off and find him, without telling his parents.

I hoped Michael was all right. I'd bring him back, though, if I could find him. What could be more precious, what could be more valuable to my family than Michael? This was going to be so good. Roll on, bus, I cried in my head.

From the outside, Josh's life looks pretty much perfect. He's in a band, he has a gorgeous girlfriend, and he does well at school. But Josh's family has been slowly falling apart since his older brother disappeared two years before.

Then Josh comes across a clue to Michael's whereabouts in the Lost Property Office where he's working for the holidays. Determined to put his family back together, and without a word to anyone, Josh too leaves Sydney in a desperate bid to bring his brother home.
