Real Gone Kid

By Kate Fridriks

Everyone deserves to feel safe. It's 1984. Superpowers for girls and women exist only on TV and in comics. Aileen Murphy struggles to make sense of her life in a working-class Scottish steel town. She dreams of escaping the sectarian bullying she has kept secret; then, the gorgeous Steve Henderson enters her world. When her vulnerable younger sister becomes the next target of the bullies, Aileen knows she must make a stand. Will Steve's proposition to secretly teach Aileen her own 'superpower' save her and her sister? And can Aileen find the courage to fight for her dreams - to feel safe - and to be accepted for who she is? Real Gone Kid is the feel-good, first novel in the adult, coming-of-age, Raven Craig series, set in 1980s industrial Scotland.
