Babushka (2023)
(Toxic )
Natasha Devon
"Menacing, heartfelt and often very funny, Natasha Devon is a new YA voice to watch."
thumb
Idol (2022)
Louise O'Neill
"Compulsive, disturbing and totally addictive, I couldn't put IDOL down. No-one writes the dark extremes of womanhood like Louise O'Neill and I think this might be her best novel yet."

(Ruled Britannia, book 1)
Melvin Burgess
"Melvin burgess is one of the founding fathers of modern teen fiction."
