Product description

A haunting, powerful drama from Carnegie Medalist Melvin Burgess. A girl in a coma. A desperate mother. Marianne has been absent from her own life for so long that even her mother’s unwavering faith is starting to tremble. But Marianne, floating in her own world, is starting to remember who she is – and the sad woman that visits every day. Can they both persist long enough to find a way back to one another? Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+

Melvin Burgess

Melvin Burgess, award-winning young adult fiction author and writer of the Billy Elliot novelisation for Chicken House, was born in 1954 in Twickenham, but grew up in Sussex and Berkshire. The book he would most like to have written is The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. His advice for aspiring authors is just to ‘keep at it! If you want to enough you’ll get there – but be aware, it can take years.’
