The former Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner and modern children's classic A Kind of Spark gets a magnificent prequel focusing on Addie's older sister Keedie, as she comes of age as an autistic teenager in the town of Juniper.

Set in Juniper five years before A Kind of Spark, Keedie is a powerful coming-of-age story that thoughtfully tackles bullying, navigating friendships, and the joys and difficulties of being an autistic teenager.

As Keedie and her twin sister Nina approach their fourteenth birthday, they seem to only be growing further apart. Keedie instead feels drawn to, and fiercely protective of, their quiet younger sister Addie - who on the surface is the opposite of loud and fiery Keedie, but in fact they have more in common than anyone knows
