The Girl in the Red Coat by Kate Hamer
No dragon tattoos here, The Girl in the Red Coat is Carmel, 8 year old only child of a newly-separated mother. Carmel is a strange child who gets distracted and is prone to getting lost. When she and her mother, Beth, spend a day at a festival, they get separated and Carmel disappears. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought The Girl in the Red Coat. I like to pick up a book in an actual book shop and read the back of it...
