About the book

A spoiler-light introduction.

When a protected child vanishes into a school transport system that refuses to speak their name, procedure turns absence into status. The records say pending. The road says delivered. The water remembers somebody the system has made administratively invisible.

The Pending Child closes The White Loch Series with a dark institutional gothic thriller about safeguarding, identity and the violence done when a living child is reduced to a field in a record.
