Life is not easy for Pen Flowers. Her mother's agoraphobia is so severe that she can hardly 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. It's 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' 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 you'll fall in love with.
