Here.
Joe looked into the policeman's eyes and saw the doubt. You won't find Jonah, he thought. You'll never find him. He's gone forever.
It was like any other morning. Walking to school. Chatting-like mates do. but then the fire angine had come roaring past, siren blaring. And Jonah had gone running after it, desperate to see the fire-desperate for excitement. Only he'd never come back. Not ever.
Now time has passed and people are forgetting Jonah. Everyone except Joe- who can never forget. he knows that somewhere, somehow, his lost friend is still alive- and that he is the only one who can find him. But Joe's search for the truth will lead him into terrifying danger...
Scarily dark and atmospheric, this is a haunting story about loss - and an extraordinary friendship.
'The Lost' by Alex Shearer.
