Overview:
Three stirring novellas come together in the Ele Fountain Collection, a careful blend of adventure, heart, and timely themes.

The world he knows is changing, and he and his grandmother must navigate a future where tradition meets modern pressures. Lost introduces Lola, a girl whose ordinary days are disrupted by a cascade of disasters that strain family ties and test resilience, inviting readers to consider how far they would go to hold a family together. Boy 87 centers on Shif, a bright, bookish boy who loves chess and math, who is suddenly forced from his home when soldiers arrive. His perilous journey—through imprisonment and escape, across unfamiliar lands, and toward an uncertain horizon—explores courage, friendship, and the endurance of hope. This triple-pack of novels offers gripping plots, vivid settings, and characters you’ll root for long after the last page. BRAND NEW paperback collection with three unforgettable journeys, perfect for readers who crave realism, empathy, and a pulse-pounding read.

What Makes This Collection Special:
What ties Melt, Lost, and Boy 87 together is more than author and format: three distinct, emotionally resonant coming‑of‑age stories that place young protagonists at the center of real-world crises. You’ll meet characters who grapple with climate change, upheaval, and displacement, yet choose resilience, ingenuity, and kindness. The collection offers a cohesive reading journey—each book builds empathy, sharpens problem-solving, and invites readers to imagine how small acts of courage can transform seemingly overwhelming circumstances. It’s a thoughtful gift for readers who want intense plots that also spark reflection, conversations at the dinner table, and a sense that stories can illuminate what matters in our world today.

Books Included in This Collection:
Melt
In Melt, readers meet Yutu in an Arctic village where a warming climate brings faster-than-expected melt of snow and ice, threatening a traditional way of life. The story follows his observations, family ties, and the pragmatic choices he must make to protect those he loves while facing an unsettled future. This novella blends environmental awareness with intimate family dynamics, offering a suspenseful, hopeful read that stays with you long after you turn the final page.

Lost
Lost centers on Lola, a girl whose world begins to unravel after a sequence of overwhelming events. The narrative traces how she and her family navigate tumultuous disruptions, exposing the fragility and strength of home, belonging, and trust. Through Lola’s perspective, the book invites readers to consider how communities respond to crisis, how personal resilience grows in the face of chaos, and how connection can be a lifeline when everything changes.

Boy 87
Boy 87 follows Shif, a clever, math-loving boy who imagines a future beyond his country’s turmoil. When soldiers arrive and take him and his best friend away, Shif embarks on a perilous journey across land and sea, encountering both cruelty and kindness, and facing the possibility of separation from those he loves. It’s a poignant, action-packed examination of courage under pressure, the refugee experience, and the enduring bond between family and friends.
