À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Gripping' -Financial Times

Sissy is used to being on the outside. The new girl in her West Country school, she has recently arrived with her troubled mother, who is prone to letting Sissy fend for herself. But from the day Sissy fights a boy in front of Tegan, she's no longer alone. The two grow intensely close over the course of the school year, as they find themselves on the threshold of girlhood.

But threats are gathering thick and fast around them, with reports of girls being snatched at night rocking their small town. As their make-believe worlds bleed into their daily lives, Sissy feels herself transforming into something strange and terrifying.

I couldn't put it down and feel haunted by every moment, every sentence' -Joanna Rakoff
