Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

A book about witches with no owls and not a pair of round spectacles in sight. The new Hunger Games,I suspect... Brilliant and utterly compelling - I loved it.

Kate Atkinson, author of Life after Life and Behind the Scenes of the Museum

Teens rejoice: the inheritor to Stephenie Meyer's crown has arrived.

Edgy, arresting and brilliantly written, Half Bad grips you from the first page and doesn't let go.

A brilliant debut that is both deeply unique and unsettling, one that  chilled me to the bone and broke my heart even as I sped through its  pages. This will haunt you.

Take our word for it, this book is going to be huge.

Brilliantly paced with more than a few nasty surprises, Half Bad is a wickedly addictive read that will capture the imagination of any fan of YA fiction.

Not since the Harry Potter books - yes, I said it! - have I felt so fully immersed in an author's creation... I couldn't be more stoked over Half Bad, and this launch novel of a trilogy truly deserves all the hype surrounding it - and much more...
