2005

A book as blisteringly relevant as it was when published

20 years ago.

Three children walked away from the edge of town one day

- but only two of them came back . . .

JJ was charged and convicted of murder. Six years later, she has

now been released, and has a new identity.

But is there any way that she can lead a "normal" life?

A gripping and emotionally searing novel from a talented

author, Looking for JJ explores the circumstances

and motives behind the murder of a child - by her friend.

for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, We Were Liars & Inventing

Anna

a book to be read time and again

a unique perspective which explores issues of morality and whether

offenders of heinous crimes be forgiven

 

More praise for Looking for JJ

"Compelling, thought-provoking" Kirkus

"Asking more questions than it answers, this is a brilliant

and disturbing piece of writing, that looks beyond the headlines

and forces the reader to confront and question some of their own

attitudes to contemporary issues." BookTrust
