Looking for Lucie is a contemporary YA novel that explores identity, self-discovery, and newfound friendship as an 18-year-old girl sets out to uncover her ethnic heritage and family history.

"Where are you really from?"

It's a question every brown girl in a white-washed town is familiar with, and one that Lucie has never been able to answer. All she knows is that her mother is white, she''s never met her father, and she looks nothing like the rest of her family. She can't even talk about it because everyone says it shouldn't matter!

Well, it matters to Lucie and—with her new friend Nav, who knows exactly who he is—she's determined to find some answers.

What do you do when you question your entire existence?

You do a DNA test.

Industry Reviews

"I felt myself drawn into Lucie's journey as she uncovers family secrets and finally figures out how to realise her own hopes and dreams."

-Avril Wilkinson, Library Services Assistant at City College Norwich

"Meticulously observed and thought-provoking, Looking for Lucie explores DNA testing, dual heritage, identity and the question: Where are you really from? It's a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading it."

-Kim Donovan, Founder of The Searchlight Writing for Children Awards
