Friday Never Leaving


Add your own review!

Overview

In this wrenching, mesmerizing coming-of-age novel that Kirkus Reviews calls lyrical, suspenseful, and haunting, Friday discovers what makes a family--and how to define home. Friday Brown has never had a home. She and her mother live on the road, always on the move, running away from the past instead of putting down roots. Even when her mom dies, the only thing Friday knows how to do is keep moving. Her journey takes her to an abandoned house where a bunch of street kids are squatting, and an intimidating girl named Arden holds court. Friday gets initiated into the group, but her relationship with Arden is precarious, and it puts Friday--and anyone who befriends her--at risk. With the threat of a dangerous confrontation growing, Friday has to decide between returning to her isolated, transient life, or trying to help the people she's come to care about--if she can make it out alive.

Reviews

In her American debut novel, Australian Wakefield reveals herself to be a master of madness and suspense, rivaling such authors as Adele Griffin and Neal Shusterman....Wakefield's writing is gorgeous. She renders the Australian setting, from the slanted platforms at the train station to the red dust of the outback, with visceral detail, and her characters are disturbing, yet sketched with deep compassion for their lonely, wounded hearts.--Starred Review, Booklist


Wakefield's characters are one of the strengths of this young adult novel. They are diverse, compelling, multi-dimensional, loveable, despicable....believable. --Dominion Post Weekend (Australia)
