Gripping psychological thriller by international award-winning
author As life slips away, Gabriel looks back over his brief twenty
years, living in an unforgiving town with distant, punitive parents
who ensure he is never allowed to forget the horrific mistake he
made as a child. He has only two friends - his dog, Surrender, and
the unruly wild boy, Finnigan, a shadowy doppelganger with whom the
meek Gabriel once made a boyhood pact. But when a series of arson
attacks grips the town, Gabriel realizes how unpredictable and
dangerous Finnigan is. As events begin to spiral violently out of
control, it becomes devastatingly clear that only the most extreme
measures will rid Gabriel of Finnigan for good.

How I Live Now meets Exodus – a startling YA dystopia that
imagines London as the epicentre of the refugee crisis, from
critically acclaimed author Clare Furniss. Â In the near
future, in a world that could be, but is not quite, ours,
sixteen-year-old Clem is happy. Celebrating her birthday surrounded
by friends, family and a warm summer evening, there’s nothing
that could ruin this day. But by morning, everything has changed .
. . After years of a growing totalitarian regime, civil unrest in
London has reached an all-time high, and it’s no longer safe to
stay in the city. Fleeing with nothing but her half-sister Billie,
a notebook filled with stories and memories of home, Clem must make
the treacherous journey to Edinburgh, first by road and then by
boat. What waits for the sisters on the other side – the start of
a new life, or a mirror held up to the past? PRAISE FOR CLARE
