An imaginary story with imaginary characters but inspired by a real event\u00a0 that affected the whole world. <\/strong><\/p>\n

On 26th April 1986 at Chernobyl in Ukraine a nuclear reactor exploded sending huge clouds of radio active dust into the atmosphere with devastating results, especially for the people of Chernobyl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This powerful graphic novel is inspired by that nuclear explosion at the Chernobyl power station, and is published for the 35th anniversary of the disaster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One April night, people living near Chernobyl see a bright light in the sky...Everyone is told to move out of the forbidden zone around the destroyed nuclear reactor, but two stubborn old ladies, Anna and Klara, refuse to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nine years later, the forest wolves bring a ragged child to their door - a child who has been living with wolves in the forbidden zone. Who is the lost child of Chernobyl and will Anna and Klara be able to find the child's family after all this time?<\/p>\n

Inspired by the real events of the global environmental disaster at Chernobyl<\/a> in April 1986, this haunting and deeply relevant graphic novel is about the place of humans in the natural world, about healing, survival and the meaning of home.<\/p>\n

Helen Bate<\/a> is the award-winning author of Peter in Peril, USBBY Outstanding International Book,<\/a> and Me and Mrs Moon. The graphics in the story excellently portray the reality of the aftermath and provide thought provoking materials for discussion<\/p>\n

Otter-Barry<\/a> are the publishers of courageous and inspirational books for children. The Lost Child of Chernobyl is one of their best!<\/p>\n

I shall treasure this book as a reminder of that time in 1986, when the cloud of dust even came as far as the East of England. with difficult consequences.<\/p>\n
