About this ebook
This engaging summary presents an analysis of No and Me by Delphine de Vigan, which tells the story of Lou, a gifted 13-year-old who one day meets a homeless girl called No. Lou decides to help her new friend to escape the streets and, in doing so, discovers a lot about poverty, homelessness, friendship and life in general.
