The Girl in the Suitcase – Eoin Redahan

Description

Orla is an unusually small, clever girl who just wants a normal life – to hang out with her friends, watch trashy TV and, most importantly, avoid getting arrested again. But normal isn’t an option when your reckless brother can’t keep himself out of trouble for long.

Magda is older, just as clever as Orla, but twice as cruel. She has proof that could ruin Orla’s family, and she tricks Orla into making a terrible bargain in exchange for her silence. Thus begins Orla’s secret journey.

Squeezing into a suitcase, getting tossed onto a shuttle bus, and sneaking around luggage compartments isn’t exactly how Orla imagined spending her days. Yet the harder she tries to wriggle free, the tighter she gets tangled in Magda’s cruel schemes.

Orla must find a way to escape – before the suitcase becomes her cage.

The perfect gift for young readers who like their adventures fast, their heroines fearless and their plots impossible to put down.
