One of the most puzzling aspects of Asha’s disappearance is exactly why she left home – given that there seemed to be no good reason for her to run away. Some people think that an explanation may lie with a book she had recently read at school – ‘The Whipping Boy’ by Sid Fleischman.
The book concerns two boys who run away from home before eventually going back – and it’s thought that Asha could have been attempting something similar, only to have met with misfortune along the way.
