Joanna Nadin recommends
Neon's Secret Universe (2022)
(Neon's Secret Universe, book 1)
Sibéal Pounder
"I adored not-at-all normal Neon and her madcap adventure."
What July Knew (2023)
Emily Koch
"A heartstopping, heartbreaking, heartwarming drama. I was with brave and funny July down every alley, wrong turn and misstep until she finally found out the shocking truth. She'll live on in my imagination for a long time."
The Rescue of Ravenwood (2023)
Natasha Farrant
"Gripping, and important - so lightly and deftly done. I found myself waking up and wanting desperately to go and live in Ravenwood - I think all readers will."
The Square of Sevens (2023)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"My favourite Laura Shepherd-Robinson novel yet. Fortune telling, Cornwall and Bath. What's not to love? Completely compelling and clever, of course. And in Red, a heroine I wanted to spend days with."
