The mercury in me - Rachael Fernandes

Maya Pritik is seventeen, an aspiring doctor and wants to get through Sixth Form in one piece. This is not made easy by school bully Candice Riley, who has a target on Maya's back and is the owner of the not-so-anonymous Hot-Or-Not Instagram account. Luckily Maya has her best friend, Lucie Perry, and older brother, Tamir, to keep her together. Maya's passion is music, so when she hears musical theatre heartthrob Harry Wu singing an original song, she has to go investigate.Perfect for fans of Sex Education, When Dimple Met Rishi and Never Have I Ever, THE MERCURY IN ME is an ode to romcoms, musicals, and being British Indian. Featuring an ensemble cast including one ride-or-die best friend, a smattering of theatre kids, and a brother in turmoil, this is a YA debut not to be missed.
