Product description

It was the girl, of course. The girl from the station. The girl with the smile and the skin and the eyes…

Joe is hooked from the moment he sees Candy. What is it that catches his eye? Is it her hair, her smile or just the way she’s standing? When they chat over coffee there’s an instant attraction – but can love ever be this sweet? As the bitter truth about Candy’s world emerges, Joe must decide if love and hope are worth fighting for. A darkly intoxicating story of first attraction from the winner of the 2014 Carnegie Medal.

“A story as sharp as the title is sweet… Some words of warning: Candy may hook you too.” Guardian

Kevin Brooks

Kevin Brooks, author of the young adult novels Martyn Pig, Lucas, Kissing the Rain, Candy, and The Road of The Dead, was born in 1959 and grew up in Exeter, Devon. After school, he moved to London and tried to become a rock star. The book he would most like to have written is Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. His most precious memory is of sitting on a wall when he was ten years old, wondering where thoughts go when you die. He decided that they float up into space and become fuel for the sun. His advice for aspiring authors? ‘Read as much as you can, and write what you want to write, not what you think other people want you to write. And don’t give up.’
