Description

A new stand-alone from the author of the bestselling novel A Kind of Spark, with Neurodivergent characters you'll root for and a moving friendship at its heart.

When Cora is dragged to a dinner, she doesn't expect to strike up a friendship with Adrien - son of the intimidating CEO of Pomegranate Technologies. As she becomes a part of Adrien's life, Cora is also drawn into the mysterious projects at Pomegranate.

At first, intrigued, Pomegranate uses AI to recreate real people in hologram form, often to comfort grieving families. However, as Cora digs deeper, she uncovers their darker aim: to wipe out any trace of neurodivergence in their holograms and create the 'perfect' versions of people like her and Adrien.

Cora knows she must unravel their plans.

Can she fight to make her voice heard, whilst never losing sight of herself?

Author description

Elle is a Scottish and Neurodivergent writer, happily living in London. She graduated with a first in Creative Writing and has worked as a bookseller, bartender, blogger and babysitter-all while writing stories for her own amusement. After completing her Masters dissertation on the lack of Own Voices representation for Neurodivergent children, she grew tired of the lack of inclusivity in the industry, and wrote a book herself. Her first children's novel, A Kind of Spark, was published in June 2020 by award-winning indie press Knights Of and stars two openly autistic young women. After publication A Kind Of Spark swiftly became the Blackwell's Children's Book of the Month in June and the Waterstones Children's Book of the Month in October. Additionally, it was announced as both The Times and The Sunday Times' Children's Book of the Week!
