An exciting, heart-breaking debut novel by Meaghan McIsaac - The Knife of Never Letting Go meets Stand By Me.
Meaghan grew up in Canada. A sci-fi/fantasy nerd, she packed up all her movies and books, and shipped off to the UK to complete an MA in Writing for Children. Meaghan eventually returned to Canada broke and worked at a series of unpaid internships at publishing houses, magazines and gossip rags. Through it all, she was writing stories in the office, on the subway, and on her lunch breaks. Urgle is her debut novel.
