Beauty Sleep

Winner of the CrimeFest award for Best Crime Novel for Young Adults

Who am I? What am I? When am I?

Laura can't remember who she is. But the rest of the world knows. Because Laura is famous - a dying girl who was frozen until she could be cured. A real-life Sleeping Beauty.

But what happens when you wake up one day and the world has moved on forty years? Could you build a new life - while solving the mystery of what happened to the old one?

A darkly twisted thriller plunging a pre-tech girl into a futuristic world.

About the author

Kathryn Evans has been an actor, a waitress, a celery cutter and a newspaper deliverer - she's even scrubbed the decks of the Mary Rose. Now she combines being an author with being a mum, running a strawberry farm, volunteering as finance co-ordinator for SCBWI, occasionally performing belly dance and fencing competitively. Kathryn's debut novel More of Me was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and won the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award - the first YA novel ever to do so.
