Stand By Me meets We Were Liars - a heartbreaking and stunning breakout novel for teenagers from the award-nominated author of Seed. June's life at home with her stepmother and stepsister is a dark one - and a secret one. Not even her father knows about it. She's trapped like a butterfly in a jar.
Reviews
I absolutely loved this exciting but incredibly tragic story about a girl called June who lived with her father, her stepmother Kathleen and her stepsister Megan since her mother died. June hid a terrible secret from younger than ten years old- a secret so terrible she couldn't bring herself to tell anybody about it. Until she met Blister. A boy with lots of siblings who camped out in deserted trailers in the wood, and soon became June's closest friend. June felt she could tell Blister anything and she honestly could. Would Blister be able to free June from her dark secret forever? I found this story very, very upsetting but it was one of the most beautifully written stories I have ever read. I would recommend it for confident readers aged 10 or maybe 11+
