In "A Very Brave Girl" by R.A. Kahn, nine-year old Lizzie Sinclair suddenly finds herself alone in a new city, when her grandmother has a bad fall and is taken to hospital. Lizzie's parents, her father, a soldier on active service in a war zone has been followed there by Lizzies mother, who is a war correspondent. Lizzie had been sent to live with her grandmother, of whom she is very fond. Hoping to find her way to the hospital to visit her Gran, Lizzie hops on a bus, but soon gets off again when she realises that this bus will not take her there. She finds herself outside a school and not knowing where else to go for help, she opens the gate and follows a path all the way down to a small house on the property. And so begins Lizzie's wonderful adventure! Despite her fear and uncertainty, Lizzie shows incredible resourcefulness and bravery as she navigates her new surroundings and faces unexpected challenges. She eventually finds her way to a girls' boarding school, where she forges new friendships and discovers a sense of belonging.
