Ambelin Kwaymullina loves reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and has wanted to write a novel since she was six years old. She comes from the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. When not writing or reading she teaches law, illustrates picture books and hangs out with her dogs. She has previously written a number of children’s books, both alone and with other members of her family. Her first novel, The Tribe 1: The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf, was short-listed for the 2012 Aurealis Awards in both the Science Fiction and Young Adult Fiction categories.
Reviews
This book captures the beauty and bounty of Australian flora and fauna in rich detail … a lovely addition to the increasingly diverse body of Indigenous children’s literature.
Books+Publishing
In our over-busy, sometimes frantic world, the simplicity of The Lost Girl’s story is its strength.
