Overview

Set in Juniper five years before A Kind of Spark comes a powerful coming-of-age story from award-winning author Elle McNicoll. As Keedie and her twin Nina approach their fourteenth birthday, they seem to only be growing further apart. Keedie instead feels drawn to, and fiercely protective of, their quiet younger sister Addie – who on the surface is the opposite of loud and fiery Keedie, but in fact they have more in common than anyone knows. 'This is a novel filled with love - not only Keedie’s love for Addie but McNicoll’s for young neurodivergent people everywhere, and the brilliant and brave Keedie will inspire those children to be proud of who they are' The Bookseller 'A brilliant story of kindness, justice and just a little bit of revenge. Brash, bold and furious, just like Keedie herself' Lizzie Huxley-Jones Don't miss Elle McNicoll's other books for young readers: A Kind of Spark Show Us Who You Are Like a Charm Like a Curse
