Coming in June is Chime by Franny Billingsley (Bloomsbury £6.99), which was
shortlisted for the National Book Award in 2011. This is a “gothic romance with
an undercurrent of fairytale and darkness”:
“Briony knows she is a witch. She knows
that she is guilty of hurting her beloved stepmother. She also knows that, now
her stepmother is dead, she must look after her beautiful but complicated twin
sister, Rose. Then the energetic, electric, golden-haired Eldric arrives in her
home town of Swampsea, and everything that Briony thinks she knows about
herself and her life is turned magically, dizzyingly, upside down.”
