Description

The Twelfth Day of July is first of Joan Lingard’s influential Kevin and Sadie books, set in Belfast during the Troubles. It is one of The Originals from Penguin – iconic, outspoken, first. Sadie is Protestant, Kevin is Catholic – and on the tense streets of Belfast their lives collide. It starts with a dare – kids fooling around – but soon becomes something dangerous. Getting to know Sadie Jackson will change Kevin’s life forever. But will the world around them change too? The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for young adults. From political awakening, war and unrequited love to addiction, teenage pregnancy and nuclear holocaust, The Originals confront big issues and articulate difficult truths.
