About The Author

Ayaan Mohamud wrote her first ever book in lockdown and during NaNoWriMo, while also studying as a medical student, and it became her debut novel. It was inspired by her own experiences of Islamophobia and a desire to write about Somali culture, which she hopes to shine more of a light on in YA. She lives in London and can usually be found either writing or complaining about writing.

An empowering paean to sisterhood.

Other text

Featuring an intricate dual narrative, Mohamud's thoughtful second YA novel addresses complex family ties, poverty, bullying and recovery from betrayal.
