Description

An empowering novel of resistance inspired by Sampat Pal and the Pink Sari Gang from the multi-award-winning author of Run, Rebel and The Crossing.

'A fiery call to arms for young feminists everywhere' The Times Children's Book of the Week

'A powerful, rage-filled verse novel by a Costa-winning author' Guardian

Rizu lives a comfortable life in the gated middle class suburbs of Delhi; her biggest worries are getting her homework done and keeping up with the mean girls at school. That is, until she’s accused of being a witch and the hysteria that follows triggers a chain reaction that ends in tragedy and life as she knew it changes forever.

Alone and fearing for her life, Rizu runs away and joins a group of pink sari wearing, stick wielding women, known for their revenge vigilantism. Together they can help Rizu take back her life and seek justice against those who wronged her.

But at what cost?

'A wonderfully jarring reminder that one of the most valuable things in life is recognizing one’s own value and choosing to live, love, dream, and move accordingly. That we don’t have to accept or desire things just because the world we occupy says we should. That we have to forge our own paths. This book will empower readers to do all of the above' Nic Stone, author of #1 New York Times bestseller DEAR MARTIN

'Undoubtedly a book which roars' LOVEREADING October Book of the Month

‘Singes and sings with a freedom fighting spirit, written in verse that flows with humanity’ Sita Brahmachari, author of Where the River Runs Gold
