See all formats and editions

Imani moves to a new house in an area where she doesn't always feel welcome.

She begins chatting to Kelsey, the girl who lives next door.

Kelsey seems nice, but her family and friends dislike anyone they consider to be different.

Will Kelsey find the courage to stand up to her family, or will hate drive the girls apart?The Two Sides series has an innovative structure, where each book contains two parallel narratives, featuring differing perspectives on the same situation, and illustrating the dangers of someone making a judgement about a situation they know very little about.

These thought-provoking stories follow a linear timeline and read almost as diary entries.

The voice alternates each chapter, enabling the reader to keep up with events whilst gaining a multi-dimensional insight at the same time.

Penned by experienced authors, these captivating narratives cover serious themes faced by many young people in today's world - family breakdown, identity, domestic abuse, racism and being a young carer.

With around 4,000 words and a reading age of 8-9, these books will appeal to struggling readers aged 13+.

They would also make perfect quick reads for more able readers.
