About this ebook

Courage is sometimes found in the unlikeliest places ...

Dominic is a sixteen year-old man-child: while he has the body of a prize-fighter, as a result of a terrible seizure when he was a small child he has been left with the mind of a child. In the centre where he spends his days, Dominic is a challenge and an inspiration: someone who struggles against the odds and whose every victory over his limitations is a cause for celebration. But when a new member of staff at the centre breaks a sacred trust, the fall-out is horrific and Dominic becomes a pawn in a dangerous game. Little Boy Lost is the story of Dominic's brave battle to face up to betrayal and show - one more time - that he is a survivor.

Love this mans ability to write with honesty and straight from the heart.read all his books bar wednesdays child which I can't find on here grrR.

This was a slightly different read to what I am used to reading of Shane's books but I still enjoyed it 🤗 working with adults with varying disabilities this was quite an eye opener... Its sad to think of some people's struggles with life things we take phgranted... Was an enjoyable read and worth 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍
