"We are in an epidemic. An epidemic of unhappiness.
Friends, here is the good news: HAPPYHEAD has the answer...." 🙃

Finished copies of LGBTQ thriller HappyHead by Josh Silver @smudgecotton are here and we are OBSESSED. We really can't shut up about this one.

When Seb is offered a place on a radical retreat designed to solve the national crisis of teenage unhappiness, he is determined to change how people see him and make his parents proud. But as he finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Finn, Seb starts to question the true nature of the challenges they must undergo. The deeper into the programme the boys get, the more disturbing the assessments become, until it’s clear there may be no escape...

Early reader copies are making their way out into the world now...
