Hello my lovely readers. It’s been a while, back to term has been busy but I am back to share some exciting YA books that are newly released starting today! The author of Gloves Off, Louisa Reid has a brand new YA verse novel, Handle with Care that is out today!

I’m so excited to read this. At the beginning of the year I read the incredible Little Bang by Kelly McCaughrain loved this and this book, Handle with Care reminds me of this alongside Trouble by Non Pratt. Here is a little bit more about the book.

Handle With Care by Louisa Reid

A stunningly powerful YA novel from a master storyteller told in both prose and verse.
No one knows Ruby is pregnant - not even Ruby herself. So when she gives birth at school on a miserable February morning, her world is thrown into chaos. Keeping the baby isn't an option, but keeping quiet about who the father of her child definitely is; because if Ruby's best friend Ashley finds out the truth, then she'll lose her too.
When Ruby finally realises what she and her baby need, somehow that doesn't seem to matter any more. So Ruby must take matters into her own hands, with tragic consequences...

I am sharing an exclusive extract to the opening chapters that will leave you wanting more.
