If I could fly - Jill Hucklesby

If I Could Fly is an unputdownable novel with real heart for fans of Cathy Cassidy.

Calypso Summer. Yeah, that really is my name. ‘A girl with such a name is on a journey. She will have adventures,’ my mother used to murmur in my ear. And I now I am on a journey. I’m running from something terrible – but I don’t know what. It’s like my brain has blocked it out. For now, I’m learning to survive: to break the System and not get caught. I’ve found a friend I can trust. Next stop, freedom. Somehow, somewhere . . .

If I Could Fly is a story you’ll never forget. Tender, deeply moving and accessible, Jill Hucklesby’s breakthrough book for teens is reminiscent of Eva Ibbotson and Meg Rosoff’s finest work.
