An extraordinary and powerful YA debut in the style of Room by Emma Donoghue.
Sarah Ann Juckes writes books for young people. Her YA debut, Outside, was nominated for the Carnegie Medal Award 2020, shortlisted for Mslexia's Children's Novel Award and longlisted for the Bath Novel Award. She works with writers from all over the world via Jericho Writers and is on the board for Creative Future, a charity supporting under-represented writers. You can often find her hibernating in her writing shed in East Sussex, with her cat.
"This is well-written, sensitive on issues such as sexual abuse,
and, whether in her tower or the outside world, Ele's voice and
vision of the world will keep readers intrigued."
*Books for Keeps*
"...this is no fantasy book but a clever exploration of how we tell
ourselves certain narratives in order to make sense of our world.
It's a book about speaking your truth without shame, coming to
terms with your past and giving a voice to those who have been
silenced or mistreated."
