Can you imagine being lost and not finding your way home again? Saroo
Brierley became lost on a train in India at the age of five. Not
knowing the name of his family or where he was from, he survived for
weeks on the streets of Kolkata, before being taken into an orphanage
and adopted by a family in Australia. Despite being happy in his
new
home, Saroo always wondered about his origins. He spent hours
staring
at the map of India on his bedroom wall. He pored over satellite
images
on Google Earth seeking out landmarks he recognised. And one
day,
after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking
for. Then he set off on a journey back to India to see if he could find his mother. This
inspirational true story of survival and triumph against incredible
odds is now a major motion picture starring Dev Patel, David Wenham and
Nicole Kidman. This edition has been specially edited for younger readers who want to discover Saroo's extraordinary story for themselves.
