The Bones of Me

by Kel Duckhouse

15 year old Molly, who is growing up on an East London housing estate, is determined to be a boxer. Molly’s brother Denny has agreed to train her, but on the day of her first match he suddenly goes missing, the main suspect in a brutal assault case. She is certain Denny is innocent, but how can she help him prove it? Molly is a very relatable character who readers care about, and the writing style is a dynamic mixture of verse and prose. This is a fresh story of overcoming adversity to follow your dream, combined with a mystery.
