500 $aA compelling and heart-wrenching novel from the award-winning (and bestselling) author of Artichoke Hearts.
520 $aWhile sitting her GCSEs Kite's world falls apart. Her best friend, Dawn, commits suicide after a long struggle with feeling under pressure to achieve. Kite's parents take her to the Lake District for the summer, where she switches off her phone and the internet, and tries to come to terms with Dawn's death. Kite is a confident London girl, at home in the noisy, bustling city and at the circus school where she's training to be a trapeze artist, but in the countryside the silence can be deafening and lonely. Kite meets a local boy, Garth, who helps her navigate the dramatic landscape, allowing her to feel a sense of belonging and connection. As Kite explores, makes new friends and learns about her own history, she realizes how flawed the concept of perfection is and that real freedom lies in life's imperfections.
