From award-winning author, Catherine Forde, comes The Drowning Pond, a gritty, fast-paced thriller for young adults.

Nicky's the least popular girl in school, and the glossy friends who were briefly interested in her are bored.

She'll do anything to keep them. Nicky can get back in with the 'It' crowd by picking on Loopy Loner Lizzie.

Hallowe'en at the Drowning Pond is about to become pure evil.

Another chilling tale from the master of the gripping book for young adults, Catherine Forde.
