Description

A coming of age story. Amelia lives in a run down northern coast town in England, on the border with Scotland. She is twelve when she learns that her brother and three of his friends have all been stabbed to death. The police seem unable to find out why and who. Amelia turns to her older brother for help, but he has his own agenda. Amelia's journey to find out who killed Billy takes her on a dark and dangerous journey during which she finds out the importance of being true to herself, finding courage in the face of adversity. It is a story about grief and fear and love and trust. A story of resilience in which the protagonist succeeds because of her innate sense of what is right, and her own self worth.
