Anthony McGowan recommends
Northern Soul (2024)
Phil Earle
"I've read pretty well every word Phil Earle has written, but this might just be my favourite of his books. So funny, so charming, so true. This is what it feels like to be a 14 year old boy in love for the first time."
Wolf Road (2023)
Alice Roberts
"A wonderful book - exciting, fascinating, gripping, beautifully written."
Secrets of an Undercover Activist (2022)
(Secrets )
Nat Amoore
"A charming and funny book, but also an important one. Casey's voice is wonderfully engaging, and it's a delight to follow her adventures as an undercover environmental activist. Crucially, the message never drowns out the fun. Loved it."
