We Won an Island

One of The Telegraph's Top 50 Books of 2019!

When Luna's family win an island, Luna thinks it will solve everything AND she can finally get a donkey! But things don't go entirely to plan - no one expects Luna's younger brother to win a Sheep Pageant, for example - and the secret festival they hold soon spirals out of control. But the island is beautiful, and the family are happy, and maybe Luna will get her donkey after all...

"...this book is definitely a bask in the sun" - Emily Bearn, Telegraph

"Watching the family band together and find a new community makes for a funny, heart-warming read." - Scotsman

"We Won an Island" was written by Charlotte Lo.

Charlotte wrote her first story when she was six years old, on a square of bumpy kitchen towel. Some years later, she enrolled on a masters degree in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University, and graduated with distinction.

When not writing, Charlotte can often be found wandering the countryside with her camera. She loves to travel and explore new places, from the penguin-covered beaches of New Zealand, to the monkey-filled mountains of Japan. Charlotte lives near London with her son and daughter, and an extraordinarily fluffy cat who rules over them all.

"We Won an Island" is suitable for ages 9-12.

Yes, "We Won an Island" is part of the "Luna's Island" series.
