A Strange Kind of Brave

A Strange Kind of Brave

£7.99

Jake McCormack is the villain of Clanfedden. He’s just killed a boy – deliberately run him over with his truck, on the bridge, in front of everyone. And he knows he’ll get away with it. Luca, 14, is the new boy in town. He’s looking for a fresh start after a terrible thing that happened at his old school. Clanfedden is a small forgotten town, but Luca and his mum are going to give it a go. They’re opening an exciting restaurant, and Allie Redmond is coming to work there. Allie is honest and kind and Luca knows they’re going to be friends. Allie has lived in Clanfedden all her life and these should be happy days – Luca is the best thing to have happened in years. But she’s haunted by shadows of her own, and more than anyone she knows the danger of Jake McCormack. She needs to warn Luca. She needs to prevent disaster. At least she needs to try.

Description

What doesn’t kill you makes you … stronger? A poignant and gripping story about the power of fear, the resilience of love and the magic of food – from bestselling Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and Specsavers Children’s Book of the Year shortlisted author Sarah Moore Fitzgerald.

“Gripping, with an incredible twist that you simply won’t see coming” – Louise O’Neill

“A Strange Kind of Brave is all kinds of wonderful. I was right there on every page, laughing, crying and unable to put it down – the twist is glorious! Be warned! If you start this book in bed, you’re in for a sleepless night” – Kit de Waal

“This tale of friendship, betrayal, love, loss, revenge and obsession, written by a master storyteller, is quite literally unputdownable” – Donal Ryan, Booker Prize shortlisted author

“I thought I had my top ten favourite novels decided, but now I think it will need some reworking, because A Strange Kind of Brave definitely deserves a place” – Sadb, aged 16

Left with the odious task of choosing an audio book for our epic East to West trip to Dublin with my dog loving, extremely well read (ex library worker), hard to please mother I went with "Lessons in Chemisty" by @BonnieGarmus. Oh my word! What a hit! Serous bookseller cudos ❤️📚

Such a lovely story, wonderful illustrations and so much info in there about prehistoric wildlife. We love it already. Perfect for the @break_charity mammoth 🦣 trail in #Norfolk this summer #kidlit
