**The international award-winning story of two girls from different
backgrounds, united in friendship**
Parisian teenager Lou has an IQ of 160, OCD tendencies, and a mother who has
suffered from depression for years. But Lou is about to change her life—and
that of her parents—all because of a school project about homeless teens.
Whilst doing research, Lou meets No, a teenage girl living on the streets. As
their friendship grows, Lou bravely asks her parents if No can live with them,
and is astonished when they agree. No’s presence forces Lou’s family to come
to terms with a secret tragedy. But can this shaky, newfound family continue
to live together when No’s own past comes back to haunt her?
Winner of the prestigious Booksellers’ Prize in France, _No and Me_ is a
timely and thought-provoking novel about homelessness that has far-reaching
appeal.
