The Glass Republic
by Tom Pollock is the sequel to The City’s
Son (due from Jo Fletcher Books on 1 August):
“Pen’s life is all about secrets: the secret of the city’s
spirits, deities and monsters her best friend Beth discovered, living just
beyond the notice of modern Londoners; the secret of how she got the intricate
scars that disfigure her so cruelly – and the most closely guarded secret of
all: Parva, her mirror-sister, forged from her reflections in a school bathroom
mirror. Pen’s reflected twin is the only girl who really understands her.
Then Parva is abducted and Pen makes a terrible bargain for
the means to track her down. In London-Under-Glass, looks are currency, and
Pen’s scars make her a rare and valuable commodity. But some in the reflected
city will do anything to keep Pen from the secret of what happened to the
sister who shared her face.”
