Book Description

Shortlisted for the Weatherglass Novella Prize 2024The Secret History meets Stranger ThingsAli Smith says:“Some teenage girls have – yes – performed a spell and hexed the moon. Now the moon, smooth-skinned, street-smart, dryly witty, seductive, powerful beyond belief, is literally hanging out in one of their bedrooms. Pitch Perfect gone cosmic: in stylish sleight of hand and with pleasurable bravado this pop song of a novella reveals the huge issues, importances, losses, survivals, impotence and potencies in the everyday existence of a group of best friends and their families. Full of young-adult wisdom, braiding dark and light together, it’s a charmer.”
