About this ebook

Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award

In this urban adventure story, Khyber, a smart, bold, eleven-year-old girl from a poor neighborhood, sets out to find her friend X, a mysterious homeless woman who has gone missing.

The desperate search takes Khyber on a long, all-night odyssey that proves to be wilder than any adventure she has ever imagined.

Ratings and reviews

I started reading this book in my English class as an assignment and I loved it so much that I bought the book on the Google play store. This is my new favorite book and I am currently reading it again.
