Thorn, Paperback

A story of love and imagination, of metaphysics and politics, of empathy and mystery, it's curious and compelling. Alice in Wonderland meets Kurt Vonnegut in a tale of surreal teenage turmoil.

'It’s a story to mull over and get you pondering about the "what it means to be alive and to be alive in *our* universe." Are the rules different here?’ - Mini Grey, children’s author and illustrator.

‘It’s ambitious, a real fever dream of a short read and I can’t recommend it enough. A phenomenal creation and one that is already lingering in my mind’ - Jonny Walker, children’s author and teacher.

Shouldn't she be in her body? Shouldn't she be her body? That was the first clue she had that something had gone sideways.

Thorn wakes up one morning hovering over her own body. Watching herself go about her days from a distance, she bounces around her past, present and future, gradually putting together the pieces of her life. Through love and resistance, Thorn is faced with how she sees herself, and must figure out if the things that mattered before are what really are important.

In a world obsessed with body image and digital identity, Thorn gives readers the experience that mirrors exactly how every teenager feels today - disconnected, searching, and rebellious.
