Hunting Lila and Losing Lila
Hunting Lila and Losing Lila are two amazing books written by the amazing Sarah Alderson. I'm doing a post on both of them so I don't spoil the story for any readers.
Lila is a girl whose Mother is dead, apparently killed by a man called Demos who was not quite ordinary- he had a 'power', making him near invincible. Lila's father moved her to London to keep her safe, refusing to ever go in the USA ever again. Lila's older brother Jack and his best friend Alex stay in America, and join an organisation called The Unit who are tracking down Demos and other people like him who have these 'powers'. lila has never told anyone she has a 'power' too.
The story starts when Lila, on losing her anger London, goes to LA to see Jack and Alex again. Lila has always loved Alex, abd is really desperate to see him.
From then on thrilling events start to unfold, and Lila's life is changed completely. Everyrhing she knows, everything she's used to, is changing forever...
These books are AMAZING! You MUST READ THEM!

These books are perfect for any reader, probably more appealing to girls than boys, but still fine for any reader! 11+ age. Four out of five stars. Packed with adventure, mystery, romance, humour and full of clever plot twists and great characters! Go Sarah Alderson!
ReplyDeleteYes Sarah Alderson! A cool girl character who doesn't rely on men to sort her problems! Love these books, love Lila as a character, IM IN LOVE WITH ALEX!
ReplyDeleteWow Karate Queen, quick response! I agree, Lila is an awesome girl character! The stereotype is too often damsels in distress rather than a capable, adventurous girl. Thank you for commenting! :)
ReplyDeleteThese books are such a good idea! I cant think of any other stories quite like this! I mean, we're all sick to death now of vampires and dark romance. THESE BOOKS are the new genre of today! Thanks Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI agree! We need a new super-genre, and why not let it be adventure? So many famous classics or childhood favourites fall under this exciting title, so lets modernise and make it great! Hunting Lila/Losing Lila would make great films, anyone agree?
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with the film idea! These books are fast and action packed, the ideal critera for them to be made into films! I wonder if anyone has ever thought about actually making them as films? Thank you all for commenting, its great to see how many people like, or even love, these fab books!
