The Lavender Widow by Sandi Toksvig
Somewhere in cyberland a random group of teens reach a decision. Disillusioned by what few options their futures seem to hold, and desperate to avoid joining the slog of mortgage-owning worker drones, they resolve to cut and run. To leave it all behind and find another way of living. But their destination isn't a far off island, or some city's streets. It is the remote wilds of Scotland and a forgotten forest where nature remains master of all. In those untamed woods the teens will uncover ancient wisdoms, and the last descendent of a breed of human from ages past. They will also come to realise that modern living has in no way equipped them to deal with even the basics of life in the wilderness. The Forgotten Forest is a story of belonging, of learning to deal with life. It's both a comic and serious look at what it takes to survive and, indeed, whether it's really worth the bother!
Following a first-class degree from Cambridge, Sandi Toksvig went into the theatre as a writer and performer and was a founder member of the Comedy Store Players.
