Live Like Your Head's On Fire

Life isn't easy for Pen Flowers. Her mum's agoraphobia is so bad that she can barely leave the house, while her father is spending more and more time working away, and her best friend is hanging out with the class bully. Its all getting too much. But when she goes mad in dance class, she finds a language to express the pent-up emotions seething inside her. She takes to climbing out of her bedroom window in the middle of the night to dance in the empty streets and sets off a chain of events that will change everything. Sally-Anne Lomas's debut - the first in her acclaimed On Fire trilogy - is a word-of-mouth triumph. In Pen Flowers she has created an archetypal character for our age - determined, passionate, ambitious, loyal, vulnerable, resilient. Strap yourself in for a page-turning epic youll fall in love with.
