Description
The Five follows a year in the interconnected lives of five outcasts who forge a singular bond at their secondary school in north-west Wales. As they navigate the joys and tribulations of what makes them different as individuals, their newfound community is both tested and strengthened.
This boldly original and tender-hearted young adult novel is adapted by Mared Roberts from the multi-award-winning Welsh-language series Y Pump, which was co-created in an innovative authorship process led by the voices of Wales’ next generation.
Advance Praise
‘I'm delighted that Y Pump will be translated into English. 'The Five' depicts a diverse, modern Wales and has been written through a pioneering, collaborative approach that I hope might be adopted more widely in children's and YA literature. It's a multi-perspective story written by young authors immersed in both the genre and contemporary reality of the coming-of-age story.’ Darren Chetty, Books for Keeps
