Maya Pritik is seventeen, an aspiring doctor and wants to get through Sixth Form in one piece. This is not made easy by school bully Candice Riley, who has a target on Maya’s back and is the owner of the not-so-anonymous Hot-Or-Not Instagram account. Luckily Maya has her best friend, Lucie Perry, and older brother, Tamir, to keep her together. Maya’s passion is music, so when she hears musical theatre heartthrob Harry Wu singing an original song, she has to go investigate.
Perfect for fans of Sex Education, When Dimple Met Rishi and Never Have I Ever, THE MERCURY IN ME is an ode to romcoms, musicals, and being British Indian. Featuring an ensemble cast including one ride-or-die best friend, a smattering of theatre kids, and a brother in turmoil, this is a YA debut not to be missed.
Rachael Fernandes is a British-Indian twenty-something writer; born, raised and still living in South London. Rachael started her career at Penguin Random House, and has since worked in marketing for major national and international brands. She wears many hats; having a first-class degree in Maths and Chemistry, a diploma in Art and was selected onto the Curtis Brown Children’s and YA Writing course, where she developed THE MERCURY IN ME. You can also find her occasionally on stage, performing regularly in an improv group.
