Recommended age 11-13

 

Anna and Chloe are twins. They share everything - from secrets to clothes; from fending off the school bully to dealing with their parents' separation. Even Chloe's terrible accident hasn't split them apart. After all, twins have a special bond....

 

But Anna is beginning to realise that being inseparable isn't always easy. Especially when no one else seems to understand that Chloe isn't really gone; no one apart from the dashing Joe, who, inconveniently, seems to like both sisters. Told through the eyes and mind of 12-year-old Anna, this is a powerful novel exploring teenage life and the grieving process.

 

 

This is a captivating book in which romance and paranormal meet. It is full of unexpected twists and will leave readers grieving with its accurate portrayal of teenage life and the problems a teenage girl may face.

"This has established Warren as an author I'm keen to read more of in the future..."
Robert James, thebookbag.co.uk, March 21st 2011

"I loved this book. I read it in two sittings as I was so keen to keep racing on to the end. Beautifully written. Emotional and moving, but real as well."

Liz Kessler, children's author

"Warren has created a book that will serve as a companion piece to young teens as they explore the territory of suffering, isolation and self-deception. She tackles a tricky and in some places a dangerous terrain with skill and compassion. Teachers might do well to consider this book as a novel to be read by a class, young readers venturing into uncomfortable narrative zones."
