The Bandit Queen

"O Bandit Queen!" the bandits cried.

"Little horror! Poison weed!

We'll give you everything a queen could ever need..."

The bandits give their queen treasure, tigers, mischief and mayhem. But sometimes a little girl needs something more...

A beautiful book about finding family in unexpected places, from the creators of Hortense and the Shadow.

Reviews

Devastatingly powerful

—— The Guardian

Moving and thought-provoking

—— Observer

Blackman's absorbing but alarming novel deals with themes of racism and prejudice...Unforgettable

—— Independent

Stimulating and emotionally satisfying

—— Financial Times

A gritty read for older children . . . At times this is a beautiful love story; at other times it is a harrowing and moral tale...

—— Bookseller

Packs some powerful political punches...But Blackman never compromises the story, which is dramatic, moving and brave

—— Guardian

Inter-racial teenage love has never been more painful

—— Amanda Craig , The Times

A tender and compelling story about loving and belonging. Parsons masterfully takes us on a journey where the political is personal, where the most heartbreaking moments are also profound and beautiful. Ella is a character readers will care about, cry with, and cheer for. How High the Moon is a stunning debut that promises to have readers wanting more and more from Parsons

—— Renée Watson, author of Piecing Me Together

A stirring, emotionally resonant debut, How High the Moon opens a fresh and sensitive window on a terrifying time, even as it introduces us to a lovable new heroine

—— Tony Abbott, author of Firegirl and The Great Jeff
