One Sarah Crossan The phenomenal new novel from Carnegie-shortlisted author Sarah Crossan; incredibly moving and extraordinarily crafted, it explores the unbreakable bond and love between sisters Grace and Tippi are twins – conjoined twins. And their lives are about to change. No longer able to afford homeschooling, they must venture into the world – a world of stares, sneers and cruelty. But can they find more than that at school? Can they find real friends? And what about love? 27 AUGUST 2015 HARDBACK / 9781408863114 / £10.99 EBOOK / 9781408829462 / £6.99 TRANSLATION RIGHTS: THE GREENHOUSE AGENCY TERRITORY: COMM/UKEXCAN

Just as Tippi and Grace have begun to live like normal teenagers, Grace gets sick, so sick that separation might be the only option left open to them. But separation could mean spending the rest of their lives in wheelchairs. Separation could mean death. And whatever happens, it means being torn apart. This moving and beautifully crafted novel about identity, sisterhood and love ultimately asks one question: what does it mean to want and have a soul mate? Sarah Crossan grew up in Ireland and England and now lives in Hertfordshire. She graduated with a degree in philosophy and literature before training as an English and drama teacher at Cambridge University. Since completing a Masters in creative writing, she has been working to promote creative writing in schools.
