Three children walked away from the cottages on the edge of the town toward Berwick Waters. Later that day only two of them came back. Alice Tully knows exactly what happened that spring day six years ago — though it’s still hard for her to believe it’s real. The images, sounds and aftermath are imprinted on her memory. She’s made a new life for herself, but her past is dangerous and violent and sad — and it’s about to rip her new life apart.

A gripping and emotionally searing novel from a talented author, Looking for JJ explores the circumstances and motives behind the murder of a child - by her friend. Six years later, JJ has now been released, and has a new identity. But is there any way that she can lead a "normal" life?

A fantastic read which quite rightly was on most award list when it was published. This is a book that will probably challenge the way you think about children who kill children. Its a very imotive topic and one thats expertly dealt with by one of the best YA writers around at this moment.
