Finding Violet Park / Me, the Missing, and the Dead (2007)
A stunning new look for Jenny Valentine’s debut novel, winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize
Me: Lucas Swain—I’m nearly sixteen years old and live in London. I was fairly normal until the night I found Violet. Then everything changed.
The Missing: Dad. He disappeared five years ago. Nobody knows what happened to him, and nobody cares except me. It’s enough to drive you crazy.
The Dead: That’s Violet . . . in the urn. Speaking of crazy—I know she’s trying to tell me something, and I think it’s about my father. . . .
A dead lady may not be much to go on, but my dad’s out there somewhere, and it’s up to me to find out where.
Broken Soup (2008)
An intriguing, compelling and moving novel from the award-winning author of Finding Violet Park.
When the good-looking boy with the American accent presses the dropped negative into Rowan’s hand, she’s sure it’s all a big mistake. But next moment he’s gone, lost in the crowd of bustling shoppers. And she can’t afford to lose her place in the checkout queue – after all, if she doesn’t take the groceries home, nobody else will.
Rowan has more responsibilities than most girls her age. These days, she pretty much looks after her little sister single-handedly – which doesn’t leave much time for friends or fun. So when she finds out that Bee from school saw the whole thing, it piques her curiosity. Who was the boy? Why was he so insistent that the negative belonged to Rowan?
The Ant Colony (2009)

To Bohemia, it’s just another blip between crises, as her mum ricochets off the latest boyfriend. Old Isobel acts like she owns the place, even though it actually belongs to Steve in the basement, who is always looking to squeeze in yet another tenant. Life there is a kind of ordered chaos. Like ants, they scurry about their business, crossing paths, following their own tracks, no questions asked.
But it doesn’t take much to upset the balance. Dig deep enough and you’ll find that everyone has something to hide…
