A book as blisteringly relevant as it was when published 20 years ago.

Three children walked away from the edge of town one day - but only two of them came back . . .

JJ was charged and convicted of murder. Six years later, she has now been released, and has a new identity.

But is there any way that she can lead a "normal" life?

A gripping and emotionally searing novel from a talented author, Looking for JJ explores the circumstances and motives behind the murder of a child - by her friend.

  • for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, We Were Liars & Inventing Anna
  • a book to be read time and again
  • a unique perspective which explores issues of morality and whether offenders of heinous crimes be forgiven
