About this book
Fourteen-year-old Edwina is growing up in a town where nothing ever happens-and her mother wouldn't let her near it if it did.
Then Tom Atkinson comes along. He works with her dad, he's older and good-looking and he notices her. But he also wants to keep their relationship a secret.
Soon there are no rules, and it feels like no one can help.
Haunting, challenging, and uncompromising, Our Little Secret remains essential reading.
