Her new group of friends are tight; the kind of girls who Harper knows have her back.

As if she can grow beyond the person she was when Jenna died. Then Kirsty's behaviour becomes more erratic. Why is her life a perfect mirror of Harper's?

How can Harper get back to the person she wants to be, and to the girls who mean the most to her?A darkly compulsive story about love, death, and growing up under the shadow of grief. Revue de presse A new Cat Clarke novel is always something to celebrate and Girlhood could be her best yet ( Juno Dawson) An emotionally charged, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Tension builds to a jaw-dropping crescendo as truths are revealed, loyalties are tested, and a whole lot of understanding is needed. Gripping and gratifyingly multi-layered, fans of thrillers with emotional depth will find much to love here ( LoveReading4Kids) Well-written and insightful ... the story moves at a roaring pace until it reaches a thrilling and ultimately uplifting conclusion ... an easy book to get lost in ( The Bookbag) Incredible - pure and simple ( Writing from the Tub on Cat Clarke) Undoubtedly one of the most exciting and talented YA writers in Britain ( Library Mice on Cat Clarke) I wholly, unabashedly and completely recommend this book ( Inis Magazine on Cat Clarke) Clarke...succeeds brilliantly, thanks to the reality of the characters and the depth of the emotion ( The Scotsman on Cat Clarke) Clarke excels at genuine page-turners and I read this in one greedy sitting ( The Bookseller on Cat Clarke) There was something eery and creepy to the story that kept me on tender hooks from the very beginning. I read this book in a couple of sittings and I didn't want it to end! Cat's writing style is effortless and so easy to read that I felt that I was in a castle in Scotland myself at times. Girlhood comes out this week (May 4th) and if you haven't preordered it yet I would highly recommend it! ( The YA Nightstand) I did really like the thrilling atmosphere of it and I found that the storyline wasn't predictable. I was guessing what was going to happen or what the secrets were, to find out that I couldn't have been more wrong. ( The Bibliophile Girl) Cat Clarke is back with another dramatic thrill ride that knocks you a little sideways but leaves you wanting more by the time you've finished. Girlhood is an emotional rollercoaster set in a remote boarding school in Scotland. All the girls have their own little secrets but some are bigger than others and where there are secrets' there is a chance they could cause drama. Your only hope is that the drama can be contained and won't cause consequences. Brilliantly written and a real page-turner. ( Sister Spooky) A darkly compulsive story about love, death, and growing up under the shadow of grief. ( World Book Day) When you're that age, you are often experiencing grief for the first time. That loss can affect everyone close to you, like your friends and family, and it can be really tough to find someone to talk to.
