Forlorn

Forlorn

Author : Marietta Kontou
Edition : Metaixmio Publications
Class name : grades 4 - 6

Τhe brave journey of Nour, who loves water so much that she believes there is a country named Waterland where its inhabitants are water people.  The journey, filled with nostalgia for the old and hope for the unknown, with only her cat Kitamban, her sister and a small neck pouch containing what is most “precious” accompanying her.

What will happen when she loses Kitamban in Lesvos?  How will she meet up again with her loved ones?  And, how will swimming become her survival guide and unexpected “ticket” that will fulfill her greatest dream?

A story about perseverance and a child’s dignity, a child with wings  and a backpack hanging on her shoulders, who overcomes sadness by taking a deep breath!
