2005
A book as blisteringly relevant as it was
when published 20 years ago. Three children
walked away from the edge of town one day - but only two of
them came back . . .
JJ was charged and convicted
of murder. Six years later, she has now been released, and has
a new identity.
But is there any way that she can
lead a "normal" life?
A gripping and emotionally
searing novel from a talented author, Looking for JJ explores
the circumstances and motives behind the murder
of a child - by her friend.

offenders of heinous crimes be forgiven

"Compelling,
thought-provoking" Kirkus
"Asking more questions than it answers, this is a brilliant
and disturbing piece of writing, that looks beyond the headlines

own attitudes to contemporary issues." BookTrust
