Description
The bestselling modern fairytale, with a new introduction from Luke Cutforth
‘I loved it … so good!’ CARRIE HOPE FLETCHER
Arthur Braxton has had enough. His mum has left, his dad is broken and he’s the laughing stock of his high school.
But things are about to change. When Arthur runs away and shelters in an old abandoned bathhouse, he sees a naked woman swimming in the pool. From this point on, his sad little life will never be the same.

Marketing Plan
• Caroline’s last book was 99 Reason Why, a digital original with eleven different endings. Publication caused a bit of a stir with two appearances on BBC Breakfast, an interview on Radio 4’s Today, 5Live Drive and reviews and features in the Independent, Telegraph, Daily Mail, Times and Guardian. Unprecedented coverage for an ebook.
• This is Caroline’s first traditional print book since then. Her last, Like Bees to Honey was described as ‘haunting, heartfelt and beautiful’ by Chris Cleave.
