All The Rage
Publisher: Macmillan Children’s Books
Romy Grey wears her lipstick and nail polish like armour. If she applies it right, she can get through the day. She has given up trying to be heard after she was raped by Kellan Turner, the sheriff's son, and no one believed her story. But when she wakes up on a dirt road the morning after a party, and discovers a girl from school is missing, can she finally find it in herself to speak out?
A moving and beautifully written story of a damaged young girl's struggle to cope with everyday life, the boy who likes her, and just getting through the school day.
Her internal battle is written with real insight and raw emotion - which makes for a truly compelling read. While the language is extremelly accesible and ideal for reluctant readers.
