When Nema returns to Gajoomdom she discovers three forgetful grannies who've totally lost track of time. If she and Moojag can't help them remember, everyone's memories are in danger. But turns out not everyone is who they thought they were. Who will they rescue? Will they rescue them in time?
The Lost Memories, inspired by the author's gran and living with dementia and disability during the pandemic, shows us the impact of loss and the power of memory.
A multi-generational adventure, recommended for readers nine years and over. You'll whizz through this one, like the wrinkly new characters who star in it!

N.E. McMorran Press Reviews
"Fantastical fun with a deep message about the value of human memories. I loved that the three grannies took centre stage, with so much dynamism, humour and wisdom whilst taking memory loss head on. Go grannies!" Patience Agbabi - Award-winning poet and author, The Leap Cycle
'"A really great book ...a captivating adventure. The world is really dense with really fun and whimsical pieces of technology, but still there is a real sense of peril that runs through the story. I have never been so scared of a marshmallow chamber! I love how it pushes back on the idea of older people being useless, not by erasing the things they may find difficult, but by highlighting their strengths ...the things they still remember end up being as important as the things they have forgotten." Alex Falase-Koya - Award-winning author, the Marv series
"A thrilling adventure with a memorable cast of characters!" BEN DAVIS - Award-winning author, Lenny Lemmon
'"An imaginative futuristic adventure that draws you in and keeps you hooked. But it's the characters who win your heart...vivid, vibrant, compelling, laugh out loud..." Readers Favourite 5 Star review.
'"A brilliant story... Positive autism representation with loads of fantastic ideas that take you to another world!" Sean Fletcher - Journalist / TV presenter
'"A fantastic adventure with an important message and authentic and exciting neurodivergent characters. I loved it!" Daniel Aubrey - Author, Dark Island
