The First Book of Calamity Leek

Contemporary fiction. Brilliantly inventive and original. This debut novel tells the story of Calamity Leek: a girl who has never been allowed beyond the garden wall, until now. Books tell you what to believe. Books explain the world around you. What if a book had been written to explain a world constructed only for you? What if that world suddenly fell apart? Calamity Leek needs a new book. But she's going to have to write it herself.
