What is the secret of Lauren's past?
Lauren's family have moved house very suddenly, and she and her sister Tilda have to go to a new school. Lauren's determined to reinvent herself, but she's panic-stricken when she sees Harry, who she knew a few years ago. Luckily Harry doesn't recognise her, and she knows she has to make sure it stays like that.
Lauren, unlike Tilda, settles in well. She makes friends, is helping to organise the school fashion show, and has boys asking her out. But just as her life finally seems to be looking up she starts receiving macabre packages. When she gets a message: 'Isn't it time your new friends knew all about you?' she has to admit that someone knows her secret. But who - and what should she do?
Readers should be swept along by the pace and wit of the telling ... genuinely moving. To blend empathy and comedy in writing about an area that remains beyond the direct experience of most is something of a tour de force. * Books for Keeps *
Superb ... Comic and sinister by turns, this story is so good it almost reads itself * The Independent on FIREWALLERS – Children’s Book of the Year 2013 *
Packham is hugely consistent. I'd pre-order his next novel right now without needing to know anything about it - I'm so confident that it'll be worth reading * Bookbag *
Very intelligent and moving * The Independent on SILENCED *
This is an accessible, simply-told tale that will keep the readers' interest as life changing decisions are revealed and in many ways this is a groundbreaking book. -- Rosamund Charlish * SLA Journal Online *
