Product Description

A compulsively readable novel from the acclaimed author of The Sky So Heavy.

The worst thing that could happen would be for my life to go back to how it was before Katie died.

Hannah's world has imploded, all thanks to her older sister Katie. Her mum is depressed, her dad's injured and she has to go to compulsory therapy sessions. Hannah should feel terrible but for the first time in ages, she feels a glimmer of hope and isn't afraid anymore. Is it because the elusive Josh is taking an interest in her? Or does it run deeper than that?

In a family torn apart by guilt, one girl's struggle to come to terms with years of harassment shows how deep previous scars can run.

The Protected is an honest and searing portrayal of loss and grief that conveys the repercussions of bullying to the modern-day teenager.
