"Another brilliant written, hard-hitting accessible text … serves as a reminder that behind every piece of cheap clothing is a story of a life lived in fear, despair and struggle. A thought-provoking and timely read for young people." – Little Library on The Green, blog"A no holds barred look at the true cost of the fast-fashion industry, Cole shines a light on the horrific conditions garment workers experience in the name of high-street fashion. A gripping, gritty and sometimes upsetting read." – Children's Books Ireland
