Description

Frances Bird has been asked to look after the new girl at school, the very posh-sounding Alberta Black. Frances starts off as a bit of a loner but, to her surprise and delight, she and Alberta become the best of friends, doing everything together and creating their own sign of togetherness—a blackbird.

After a while though, Alberta wants to do things without Frances, and see other people without her there, and that won't do. No, it won't do at all...

Dark, haunting, and compelling, this new novel is perfect for fans of Tanya Byrne and Louisa Reid. A stunning debut novel from a brand new talent in YA thrillers.
