Lamington Left Behind

Hilda meets Studio Ghibli in this enchanting, magic-realist Australian graphic novel about a girl surviving alone in the wilderness who discovers she can talk to animals.

Description

Ever since a great flood wiped out her home, Lamington has lived alone in the Australian wilderness – until the day she stumbles upon a ragtag family of animals hiding underground. Lamington is astonished to discover she can understand the animals, and they can understand her.

They need her help to find a precious library of seeds – but the journey will be perilous, and there are troublemakers who want the seeds for themselves. Yet if Lamington and her new friends don’t try, the forest will die. And this could be Lamington’s only chance to find her mother again …

With extraordinary full-colour artwork, Lamington Left Behind is a middle-grade adventure story that will captivate readers with its richly detailed world, twisting plot and vivid cast of characters – including brave koalas, talking mushrooms and a gang of feral children.

★ Lamington Left Behind is from Figment Books, the home of the best, boldest and most exciting graphic novels in Australian publishing.

She has worked as a character designer and illustrator on various projects, from advertising and editorial illustrations to soft sculpture and multimedia art for exhibitions. Lamington Left Behind is her first graphic novel.
