NIGHTWANDERERS BY C.J. FLOOD
CHILDRENS 12+
A twilight contemporary tale of friendship, loyalty and redemption. Rosie and Titania are total opposites but are closer than sisters. They love wandering the town after dark, sharing secrets and adventures. When Rosie betrays Titania it sets off a series of events that will effect both their lives. Sensitively portraying school hierarchy, the opposing viewpoints of the teen and adult world and dysfunctional families this is thought provoking, moving and heartfelt.
