Set in Juniper five years before A Kind of Spark comes a powerful coming-of-age story about family. 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 . . . 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.' – Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend
