Book description
Outstanding voice in girls' fiction.
Fifteen-year-old Robyn (the “sensible”) one and her older sister Rachel
(anything but!) arrive in Brighton to spend the summer with their
estranged Aunt Jackie, who runs a ballgown hire business from her
ramshackle multi-storey home. They have been forced to leave their home
in Oxford, where they live with their father, because of threats to
their safety, the nature of which only gradually becomes apparent.
A perfect summer read and a brilliant study of sisterly devotion and
rivalry, coupled with a frisson of mystery and a wonderful dollop of
humour. Praise for 'Burning Secrets':
“A classy, subtle, scary novel that delivers a very English kind of
happiness.” Amanda Craig, The Times Clare Chambers is the author of
six adult titles, published by Century/Arrow. She won the 1998 Romantic
Novel of the Year with Learning to Swim.
