Published as Josie and Jack in the United States. From its earliest pages to its shocking climax, this contemporary Hansel and Gretel story is mesmerising and hugely entertaining.Braffet’s talent for dialogue is brought to the fore in this audio edition.Beautiful and brilliant, Josie and Jack Raeburn are closer than they should be, and run riot in their father’s isolated house. But as his behaviour becomes more unpredictable, they are forced to leave, and face a world for which they are utterly unprepared. Jack’s love for Josie has always been her safety-net. However, as his world grows wilder and more dangerous, she finds herself struggling: should she escape his control, or help him? It is only when they are united again, in the company of Jack’s astoundingly rich girlfriend Lily, that she understands what she must do.‘A creepy, captivating debut … darkly gothic and supremely readable’ — Publishers Weekly‘Mesmerising … recommended’— Library Journal ‘Gripping … top dialogue, strong storytelling’ — Kirkus Reviews
