"brave and intelligent" BookTrust

BOOKTRUST TEENAGE PRIZE 2005 WINNER

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL & WHITBREAD BOOK AWARD
2005

A book as blisteringly relevant as it was when published
20 years ago.

Three children walked away from the edge of town one day
- but only two of them came back . . .

JJ was charged and convicted of murder. Six years later, she has
now been released, and has a new identity.

But is there any way that she can lead a "normal" life?

A gripping and emotionally searing novel from a talented
author, Looking for JJ explores the circumstances
and motives behind the murder of a child - by her friend.

  • for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, We Were Liars & Inventing
    Anna
  • a book to be read time and again
  • a unique perspective which explores issues of morality and whether
    offenders of heinous crimes be forgiven

More praise for Looking for JJ

"Compelling, thought-provoking" Kirkus

"Asking more questions than it answers, this is a brilliant
and disturbing piece of writing, that looks beyond the headlines
and forces the reader to confront and question some of their own
attitudes to contemporary issues."
