A page-turning and immersive YA novel in verse, telling the story
of Lily who is mercilessly bullied at school and who turns to
boxing in an attempt to fight back; a story of hope and resilience
breaking through even the most difficult situations. Lily turns
sixteen with two very different sides to her life: school, where
she is badly bullied, and home with her mum and dad, warm and
comforting but with its own difficulties. After a particularly
terrible bullying incident, Lily's dad determines to give his
daughter the tools to fight back. Introducing her to boxing, he
encourages Lily to find her own worth. It is both difficult and
challenging but in confronting her own fears she finds a way
through that illuminates her life and friendships. Meeting Rose,
and seeing that there is another world out there, enables her to
live her own life fully and gives her the knowledge that she is
both beautiful and worth it. __________________ 'Stunning ...
