The much anticipated follow-up title from the multi-award winning
author of The Bunker Diary, recipient of the 2014 Carnegie Medal
for an outstanding book for young adults. Elliot is terrified of
almost everything. From the moment he was born, his life has been
governed by acute fear. The only thing that keeps his terrors in
check are the pills that he takes every day. It's Christmas Eve,
there's a snowstorm and Elliot's medication is almost gone. His mum
nips out to collect his prescription. She'll only be 10 minutes -
but shen she doesn't come back, Elliot must face his fears and try
to find her. She should only be 400 metres away. It might as well
be 400 miles... Born Scared joins the ranks of Jennifer Niven's All
the Bright Places, Ned Vizzini's It's Kind of A Funny Story, and
Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why as an example of teen fiction
offering a frank and intelligent portrait of mental illness. Kevin
Brooks was born in 1959. His first novel, Martyn Pig, was
shortlisted for a 2002 Carnegie Medal and won the 2003 Branford
Boase Award. His second novel, Lucas, won the 2004 North East Book
Award. In 2014 his novel The Bunker Diary was awarded the CILIP
Carnegie Medal. Kevin lives in North Yorkshire.
