Why read it?

1 author picked Ghost Wall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Fierce, direct, unashamedly intense, Ghost Wall hits the reader hard and fast and doesn’t let up and I am very much there for that.

For me, the great achievement here is Sylvie’s voice and how Moss keeps a dark undercurrent of fury running through the book. The theme of adult authority, and Silvie’s struggle against it, is central, and I found it extraordinary the way Moss brings us deep into the head of a girl who is always vigilant, always aware, always watching for danger.

It’s also a book which says something insidious about how violence can start to feel…

From Guy's list on coming of age in a broken world.
