Lamington Left Behind

*Lamington Left Behind* by Andrea Innocent is a striking Australian middle-grade graphic novel that blends bush magic, survival and heart-in-your-throat adventure. After a devastating flood, Lamington has been scraping by alone in the wilderness—until she finds a secret, underground community of animals with a desperate mission.

Lamington is stunned to learn she can understand the creatures around her, and they can understand her in return. Together, they set out to locate a precious library of seeds that could save the forest. The track ahead is full of hazards, from shady troublemakers to unsettling encounters in the deep bush, and Lamington can’t shake the hope that this journey might also lead her back to her mum.

Perfect for independent readers aged 8–12, fans of immersive fantasy adventure, and anyone who loves vivid artwork, talking animals and Australian settings.

Step into Lamington’s world and see where the bush takes you.
