Celia Frost is a freak. At least, that's what everyone thinks. Her life is ruled by a rare disorder that means she could bleed to death from the slightest cut, confining her to a gloomy bubble of 'safety'. No friends.
No fun. No life.
But when a knife attack on Celia has unexpected consequences, her mum reacts strangely - and suddenly they're on the run. Why is her mum so scared? Someone out there knows. And when they find Celia, she's going to wish the truth was a lie....
A gripping story for older children from acclaimed author Paula Rawsthorne.

"This book was slow for the first few chapters, but when it got going it was unbelieveable. Celia has always thought she had a blood clotting disorder... at least, thats what her mum bought her up to believe. But (ignore the cliche, because it's true) her whole life turns upside down when she cuts herself... and everything (literally) she's ever known is a lie." — Freefallen (5 out of 5 stars)
