‘I lean against the lockers. Adam wants to kiss me, but he won’t because he knows I’m not the kind of girl who’ll let herself be kissed in front of the entire student body of Glenrock Secondary. So, I kiss him. Because kissing Adam Winter is like having a zillion butterflies inside you and because kissing him is my best chance at forgetting. So I kiss him harder and for a moment the world stops and I’m not the girl whose father is dying. I’m just a girl, kissing a boy.

Based on a true story, with powerful themes and a strong YA lead character, Inkflower is perfect for study in English and History classrooms. |
