      FIX ME. DRAW ME WHOLE. COLOUR ME IN. Nineteen-year-old actor Arlo likes nothing more than howling across the skyline with best friend Luke from the roof of their apartment. But when something irreparable happens and familiar black weeds start to crawl inside him, Arlo flees to the other side of the world, taking only a sketchbook full of maps. With its steaming soup and neon lights, this new place is both comforting and isolating. There, Arlo meets fellow traveller Mizuki. Something about her feels more like home than he's felt in a while. But what is Mizuki searching for? HOW FAR CAN YOU OUTRUN YOURSELF . . . BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR WAY BACK?

      'If Sylvia Plath wrote a novel for young adults, The Taste of Blue Light would be it' Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For It What happened to me? Why can't I remember? Weeks after blacking out and waking up in hospital, Lux still has no memory of what happened. She doesn't know why her days are consumed by pain and her nights by terrifying dreams; why her parents won't stop shouting and her friends stop talking when she walks into the room. All she knows is that the Lux she once was is gone - and that if she can't uncover the truth, everything she loves will be taken away too. 'Devastating and brilliant' Stylist 'Truly unforgettable' Heat
