The Brontë Girls
Mammoth is developing a strong list: Garry Kilworth, winner of last year's Lancashire Library Book of the Year Award with The Electric Kid has created another thought-provoking reality. The Brontë girls - Emily, Anne and Charlotte - live in the twentieth century but inhabit a farm which has severed its connections with contemporary society. When Emily rebels, and past and present collide, there are decisions for the reader to make: which of the two societies is best? Which of the people concerned are happiest? This could possibly be a class reader for Year 9 and it's certainly a worthy addition to any school library or book box.
