The Truth about Celia Frost

Celia has lived in a protective bubble for all of her 14 years: she suffers from a rare disease, which means she could bleed to death if she’s ever cut.  Celia and her mother lead a lonely, peripatetic life, as they frequently move from town to town and Celia’s disease means that she’s treated like a freak by the children she meets at her various schools.

When a school bully attacks Celia with a knife and the injuries she sustains don’t kill her, she begins to question all that her mother has told her about her illness and unravels a truth more disturbing than anything she has previously thought possible.

This gripping novel builds tension from the start and is sure to stay with readers long after they turn the last page.
