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

A second novel from the bestselling author of Branford
Boase-shortlisted and Carnegie-nominated Witch. An engrossing story
of fathers and sons, death and grief, and unexpected bonds, new and
old, forged by dark and benign magic. When Sam, grieving the death
of his father, finds a silver-flecked stone, ice-cold to the touch,
strange and eerie things begin to happen. Myth, legend, magic and
witchcraft mingle on the ancient hillside where the chalk white
horse has galloped for centuries. Ravens wheel. Wolves prowl. As
Halloween draws close, witches dance. Odin gathers brave, fallen
warriors to his side. Only the mysterious new girl, Oona, can heal
Sam's heart, revealing tarot secrets with her bewitching ways.
Reviews for Witch: 'A book filled with enchantment, in every sense.
Dark, exciting and pacy, Witch brilliantly balances magic and
realism' Anthony McGowan, author of Carnegie-winning Lark 'There is
real magic here... Perfect reading for a dark, stormy night' Irish
