Wakefield Press is excited to release two\u00a0YA fiction titles on the same day! Happy publication day to Snow<\/em> <\/a>by Gina Inverarity and Taking Down Evelyn Tait<\/em><\/a> by Poppy Nwosu.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Snow<\/em><\/a> by Gina Inverarity<\/h1>\n

When the girl brought my bowl she was in and out through the door like she couldn\u2019t move fast enough. And when the lock clicked after her I found something she\u2019d left. A knife. And not one for spreading butter, but a sharp one for slitting throats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Snow,<\/a>Locked in a cell by her stepmother, Snow grows small but she still grows. Even so, she\u2019s hardly a match for a world gone wild, where the sun has disappeared behind clouds for good. The night the hunter takes her into the forest with orders to cut out her heart, Snow makes him a promise she isn\u2019t sure she can keep. And then she runs.<\/p>\n

Snow\u2019s life is no fairytale. As she grows up her path will take her into the mountains, over misty passes, desolate gorges and alpine rivers, as well as to the city, where she will make her case for the return of what is hers.<\/p>\n

And her childish promise will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n

A dark and lyrical Snow White<\/em> retelling set in a post climate-change world, Snow<\/em> is a fairytale of the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking Down Evelyn Tait<\/em><\/a> by Poppy Nwosu<\/h1>\n

The door creaks open and standing in the entrance is my absolute worst nightmare.
\nPerfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect brain.
\nPerfect sneer.
\nEvelyn Tait.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Taking<\/a>Impulsive Lottie \u2013 heavy-metal fan, expert tomato grower and frequent visitor to the principal\u2019s office \u2013 is in even more trouble than usual.
\nHer best friend Grace has dropped an unlikely bombshell: she\u2019s dating Lottie\u2019s mortal enemy, good-girl Evelyn Tait.<\/p>\n

Studious Jude, the boy next door, has the perfect war plan. Lottie will beat Evelyn at her own good-girl game, unveiling Miss Perfect\u2019s sinister side in the process.<\/p>\n

Taking life more seriously starts as fun, but soon offers its own rewards . . . so long as Lottie can manage gorgeous Sebastian\u2019s sudden interest, Jude acting weird, and the discovery that she might actually be good at something.<\/p>\n

Taking Down Evelyn Tait<\/em><\/a> is a story about family, friends and embracing who you are. Even if that person is kind of weird.<\/p>\n
