𝐊𝐢𝐤𝐢 is eleven years old, curious, compassionate and braver than she knows. One night she falls asleep and wakes inside a world that should not exist, where every path home is guarded by something strange. Lions. A shipwreck. A volcano. A 𝐉𝐢𝐧𝐧 with a private army. Mythical creatures at every turn. To find her way back, 𝐊𝐢𝐤𝐢 must think quickly, act bravely, and work out which of her new friends can truly be trusted.
Written by ten-year-old 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐢, the book began with a drawing she made one December morning in Kericho, captioned 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬.
