A gripping and emotionally compelling thriller from award-winning Anne Cassidy who has cleverly followed up Looking for JJ with an equally enthralling sequel. Now a student with a job, a flat, friends and a passably normal way of life, Jennifer Jones has become Kate. While outsiders see her as an average student leading a normal life inside Kate knows that she is completely different to everyone else. Despite everything she has done to help herself, her past will never fade away and she can never make up for the terrible thing that she did all those years ago. Anne Cassidy cleverly tells enough of the back story to make this easy to read even for those who haven’t read the original title. But it is even better if you have! ~ Julia Eccleshare

Sometimes you have to wait a long time for books - and that is certainly the case with this one! Anne Cassidy wrote Looking for JJ ten years ago. Many, many people loved it and it was shortlisted for the Carnegie Award. Anne's portrayal of Jennifer, a girl who accidentally killed her best friend, was rightly praised. But even though Anne was asked again and again whether she would ever write a sequel, Anne did not feel it was right - until now. With Finding Jennifer Jones, Anne has finally found a way to write about Jennifer. So if you know Jennifer already and want to find out what happens to her, you will have to read it! If you haven't read Looking for JJ, do if you can - both books guarantee you an intriguing and thought-provoking read.
