Draw Me a Hero

Jane Dawson is fourteen years old, lives with her mum and older sister, loves drawing and wears an old leather flying helmet. Facing another dull term at school, Jane loses herself in her art. But when a boy, Bailey Summer, moves in three doors down, with brooding good looks and a long grey trenchcoat, Jane is drawn out of her introspective world. The two collaborate. He writes. She draws. Their friendship grows. Yet there is something odd about Bailey. Is he really who he says he is and why is his writing so disturbing? Where, Jane wonders, does fantasy end and reality begin?

 

An intriguing young adult coming-of-age tale, Draw Me a Hero is at once funny, dark and tender - a real page turner with more than one twist.
