Book Synopsis
The unforgotten coat belongs to Chingis, one of two Mongolian brothers Julie knew as a child. As she tries to help them make sense of their new, unfamiliar surroundings, the brothers speak of their fear of a demon that makes people vanish. Slowly, Julie learns the painful truth behind this very real threat.

Trade Review
The judges read extensively and intensely in their search for the winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize this year [2012], but decided unanimously that The Unforgotten Coat's great immediacy and humour really set it apart. With his brilliant depiction of two brothers from Mongolia trying to adapt to school in Liverpool while haunted by a fear from home, Frank Cottrell Boyce never preaches to the reader, and judges felt that he writes with such credibility and warmth that his readers will be left wiser when they have finished the story. * Julia Eccleshare *
