Struggling to better her chances of escaping, Kate attends the posh Swan River Academy and finds herself divided between her hometown--and its dark history--and the realm of privilege and achievement at the Academy. Explosive friendships with Mason, a boy from the wrong side of town, and Willow, a wealthy and popular queen bee from school, are slowly pulling her apart. Kate must decide who she is and where she belongs before she wakes up with cinders at her fingertips. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMary Stewart Atwell has written a novel that is at once funny and wise and stunningly inventive. Her wild girls are strange and fascinating creatures--a brilliant twist on the anger teenage girls can feel at their powerlessness--and a promise of the great things to come from this young writer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49622034776337,"sku":"GOR002117677","price":3.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49665752039697,"sku":"GOR004698606","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0727859048.jpg?v=1751430939","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/summer-visitors-book-susan-sallis-9780727859044","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
