About the book:
Nell Dart has been kicked out of school and onto a bus, taking her to the middle of actual nowhere (Wales). Leaving behind her first love, Soph, she embarks on an adventure in search of a stolen horse and a night alone with Fran in the forest. Surrounded by a group of other ‘dropouts’ they all find themselves trying to find themselves in the hills of rural Wales. This is an adventure story, a love story and a story of trying to look beyond first impressions.
