  TRY ANOTHER GREAT BOOK FROM CHICKEN HOUSE

  A LITTLE IN LOVE by SUSAN FLETCHER

  Paris, 1832.

  A street girl lies alone in the darkness, clutching a letter to her heart.

  Eponine remembers being a child: her swing and the peach tree, and the baby brother she loved. But mostly she remembers being miserable. Taught to lie and cheat, and to hate the one girl, Cosette, who might have been her friend.

  Now, at sixteen, the two girls meet again and Eponine has one more chance. But what is the price of friendship – the love of a boy?

  . . . one of the most poetic and original voices working now.

  THE GUARDIAN

  Gorgeously written, romantic and tragic, with crossover appeal to adult fans of Les Mis.
