The Belly of a Wolf by Julianne Negri (UWA Publishing) PB RRP $26.99
Red is going
back to high school six months after the death of her best friend, Wolf. Their
friendship began on the first day of Prep, when they were cast as Little Red
and Wolf in the school play; ever after, their lives were entwined as two
halves of the same story. Wolf defines Red in life and in death.
As Red tries to
move on with her life, she is forever pulled back by memories of Wolf and her
guilt about not knowing Wolf planned to die. Red becomes increasingly
self-destructive and questions: Can you ever recast who you are in a story?
The Belly of
a Wolf is a verse novel
for young adults that explores the devastating impact of youth suicide.
