Holly Bourne, one of the biggest and best names in UK YA, joins us during Book Week Scotland to discuss angry girls and what makes them angry. Focusing on her latest novel The Places I’ve Cried in Public, Holly will talk to us about feminism and what drives her narratives.
This will be a must watch for teenagers of any gender figuring out their place in the world, and the perfect way for teen readers to celebrate Book Week Scotland.
