Thorn by Af Harrold

Thorn by Af Harrold

A story of love and imagination, of metaphysics and politics, of empathy and mystery, it's curious and compelling. Alice in Wonderland meets Kurt Vonnegut in a tale of surreal teenage turmoil.

Shouldn't she be in her body?

Shouldn't she be her body?

That was the first clue she had that something had gone sideways.

Thorn wakes up one morning hovering over her own body. Watching herself go about her days from a distance, she bounces around her past, present and future, gradually putting together the pieces of her life. Through love and resistance, Thorn is faced with how she sees herself, and must figure out if the things that mattered before are what are really important.

A.F. Harrold (1975 - present) is an English poet and children's author. Some of the things he makes (books, poems, faces) are funny, some are strange, some are sad, and many of them involve the privilege of working with amazing illustrators. He often visits schools, reading poems and running workshops and juggling ideas. He is the owner of many books, a handful of hats, a few good ideas and one beard. He lives in Reading with a stand-up comedian and two cats.
