Making friends in a new school is tough, but Lauren is determined it'll work out.

Maybe she'll even be happy again, after everything her family has been through.

Just as long as nobody finds out about Harry...

Beverly Sanford's newest Teen Read deals with a very prominent and poignant issue – even today. This is a mature story which is sure to have a deep resonance amongst all teenage readers.

Beverly has skilfully woven a story of emotional depth and intrigue, whilst keeping the language level and sentence structure accessible for reluctant and struggling readers.

Here is a note from the author herself about writing the novel:

I was thrilled to be asked to contribute another story to the fantastic Teen Reads series. I'm a huge fan of all the titles so far, and it's lovely to share a bookshelf with so many brilliant authors.

When I read the brief for Teen Reads IV, I knew I wanted to write about something that mattered. Remember Rosie was inspired by things that have happened and continue to happen around the world. Although I picked a specific focus for the story, I had a broad inspiration in my head as I wrote, and the themes in the book go beyond just Rosie's story – prejudice comes in many forms, after all.

I did enjoy writing it, although it was a slightly different process to my first Teen Reads book, The Wishing Doll. I was even more conscious than normal of every word that I wrote, as I wanted to ensure I did the story – and the idea behind it - justice.
