Book Three of the School for Lost Things trilogy — a three-part adventure starring your child.
One keyhole in all the Never-Found Wing glows warm and gold — and it was made for your child alone. Behind it waits the thing Havoc stole from them long ago: a precious memory of someone they loved. With Pocket’s hand-made warmth to melt the frozen locks, your child must reach the frozen heart of the Wing, free what was taken, and discover the truest thing of all — that the ones we love, even when they go away, we never truly lose. The triumphant finale of the School for Lost Things trilogy.
The ones we love, we never truly lose.

The book they ask for every night
My daughter gasped when she saw herself on the cover. We've read it every single night since it arrived.
The quality blew me away — it feels like a real bookshop book, not a print-on-demand gimmick. Worth every penny.
Gave it to my nephew for his birthday and the whole room teared up. The most special gift I've ever given.
Questions, answered
How does it work?
Choose one of our six stories, upload a clear photo of your child, and tell us their name and a few favourite things. We generate a custom-illustrated book starring them, review it, then print and ship it to you.
What kind of photo do you need?
One clear, well-lit photo of your child's face works best — looking toward the camera with no sunglasses or hats. You can upload it during the personalisation step.
What ages are the books for?
Our stories are written for children aged 3–9+, and loved by the whole family at bedtime.
How long does it take to arrive?
Your book is created within minutes and then printed to order. Most UK orders arrive within 5–7 working days. UK delivery is £2.99, and free on orders over £50.
Can I choose the art style?
Yes. Every story is available in our Pixar-inspired 3D Storybook style or our Modern Flat Illustration style. You'll pick when you personalise your book.
Will it really look like my child?
We craft a charming, story-book likeness inspired by your photo so your child is recognisable as the hero throughout — while still fitting beautifully into the magical world of the story.
