Helplessly drawn like moths to the light, two girls go missing in an evocative and gripping tale . . .
Anne Cassidy was born in London in 1952. She was an awkward teenager who spent the Swinging Sixties stuck in a convent school trying, dismally, to learn Latin. She was always falling in love and having her heart broken. She worked in a bank for five years until she finally grew up. She then went to college before becoming a teacher for many years. In 2000 Anne became a full time writer, specialising in crime stories and thrillers for teenagers. In 2004 LOOKING FOR JJ was published to great acclaim, going on to be shortlisted for the 2004 Whitbread Prize and the 2005 Carnegie Medal.

Mandy is a strong central character and Cassidy shows again that
she is an old hand at writing a taut and evocative YA novel

Moth Girls is a sharp look at the sometimes cruel reality of
teenage friendships and the even crueller reality of a girl
desperate to remain with what's left of her family, even though
that brings with it the ever-present threat of violence. I really
cared about what happened to these girls, and when an author is
able to pull that off, I know a book has worked its magic

Enjoyed seeing flashbacks, that chapters were short and sharp; it's
gorgeous cover and the writing, which ran smoothly and quickened
pace towards the end of the novel!

All I shall say it that this is a worthy addition to the stable
that brought us Looking for JJ. Thrill seekers and mystery addicts
will love this
