Rebel Voices: Disruptive Stories from Trailblazing Women - a new Puffin Classics collection, celebrating International Women's Day 2023

Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain and her family live in a beautiful, ramshackle castle - but sadly that's not quite as exciting as it sounds when you're having to use the barn door as a kitchen table, and new clothes are literally made out of old curtains . . .

Determined to forge her own path, Cassandra practices her writing skills by keeping a diary - observing the eccentric comings and goings of her beloved-but exasperating family, and pondering what life may have in store for her. But things are about to get delightfully more dramatic with the arrival of two glamorous Americans - and soon the Mortmain's lives will never be the same again.

Rebel Voices is a new six-part Puffin Classics collection of strikingly designed, highly collectible books, written by female authors, and celebrating courage, rebellion, strength and inspiration

About Dodie Smith

Dodie Smith (Author) Dorothy 'Dodie' Smith was born in 1896 in Derbyshire and was one of the most successful dramatists of her generation. During the 1940s she lived in the USA and it was homesickness for England that inspired her classic novel I Capture the Castle (1948). It was an immediate success and was also adapted for the stage in the 1950s as well as becoming a successful film in 2003. Dodie Smith is also the author of the much-loved book The Hundred and One Dalmatians which has famously been twice filmed by Disney. Dodie Smith died in 1990.Ngadi Smart (Illustrator) Ngadi Smart is a Sierra-Leonean visual artist and designer based between London UK and Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire. Her practice consists of illustration photography and design. She also works as a mixed-media artist primarily in the form of collage art. In her illustration work she is motivated by the representation of minorities highlighting cultural identity and racial discrimination as well as themes on feminism and gender roles. She likes to deconstruct mainstream society's views of what is 'normal' 'beautiful' and 'right'. She has illustrated for the Atlantic Time Out London Eastpak and the Guardian among others.
