THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE WINNER OF THE GUARDIAN CHILDREN''S FICTION PRIZE 2016
Round these ends, it''s hard to hold on to your dreams
Life''s a constant hustle for Mo. Her mum''s boyfriend Lloyd is just another man who likes to beat down women; the South Crong streets are fraught with hazards and nasty G''s; and when it comes to matters of the heart . . . she''s still hung up on Sam.
No wonder she''s vexed so much of the time.
Thank god her sistrens, Elaine and Naomi, are on her side: if one of them falls then they all fall.
But when badness goes down and a life is left hanging in the balance, Mo has to face her hot urge for revenge . . . and she might end up losing more than she wins.
