​

“I loved this book. It is a real eye opener about how some young people have to live their lives. It has tremendous pace, a little humour and a lot of heart- wrenching sadness along with lively characters that are very real.”

- THE GUARDIAN

​

“Occasional kindnesses and acts of genuine compassion soften the impact of the neglect, cruelty, and betrayal Bully negotiates in this gut-wrenching, gripping debut.”
