Tabitha
'Tabitha' is a passionate coming-of-age story that both shocks and warms the heart.
Millheaton has no claims to fame, being just another West Yorkshire Victorian mill town long past its glory days. On the edge of the town lies a large 1930s council estate, the home of Tabitha, a thirteen-year-old child of an estranged black father and a white mother. As she grows into her teenage years, her nemesis, Gareth (Griff) Green continues to bully her but, now, as their hormones kick in, things take on new dimensions. How is Tabitha going to cope with it all and where is Griff's toxic obsession with her going to take them?
Unlike the author's previous novels, this is a book about teenagers rather than for them.
Included in the print version are pages by real teenagers who tell us what it's like to be young as they tackle the questions, "Who am I?" and "What next?"
