She grabs onto a lifeline - the offer of a program that promises to heal addictions and give her a fresh start. Evie and 27 others from around the world travel to a monastery on a tiny Greek island to begin the program. There are six days and six challenges on the path to healing. Ten thousand dollars per challenge. Sixty thousand on completion. Enough to pay off debts and start anew.

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air.... Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one. All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Thirteen-year-old Johnny Merrimon has to face things no boy his age should face. In the year since his twin sister's abduction his world has fallen apart: his father has disappeared, and his fragile mother is spiralling into ever deeper despair. Johnny keeps strong.

Must Read
If you could sum up The Last Child in three words, what would they be?
Extraordinary, suspenseful and addictive
Who was your favorite character and why?
Johnny Merrimon was my favourite character. He demonstrated Incredible devotion, both to his sister and his mum and great courage and persistence looking out for both.
Have you listened to any of John Chancer’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is the first John Chancer performance I have listened to. I was mildly irritated with some of the (what I thought were) exaggerated accents in the dialogue - but this may have just been my Australian ear!
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Go with Johnny on his breathtaking journey as he searches for his missing twin sister.
Any additional comments?
Night after night I kept listening to this book way past when I should. Just kept telling myself "just one more chapter!"

Johnny's Search
This is a really enjoyable story of the search by young Johnny for his missing twin sister when everyone else has given up. Whilst some of the story plots and characters were 'unbelievable' I was more than happy to suspend any disbelief because the portrayal of Johnny, his life, his family and friendships and his quest were so compelling. This turned into quite an addictive book and I finished it very quickly. I found the ending very satisfying and was sad to say goodbye to Johnny.

I tried...
After reading Redemption Road I was keen to get into Last Child. Immediately I realised I’d started this before but couldn’t stand the narrator and retuned the book (I love audible!!!) so here I was again and I tried... I really did... but Mr Hart should not write in the voice of a young boy. Kids don’t think about redemption and faith. He gave this child a voice so old and jaded that it lacked all authenticity. I found it tedious and unlistenable after a couple of chapters. Very disappointed but soon back in the groove as I returned this book again and downloaded the next in my wish list.
I’ve pliers through more than 30 books over the last 6 months and only disliked 3. And of course replaced these with others at no charge. Listening on audible has become a glorious addiction and I’m so hooked!!!
