Everyone in town knows  the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn't care what anyone thinks. Agnes Atwood has never stayed out past  ten p.m., never gone on a date and never broken any of her parents' overbearing rules. Rules that  are meant to protect their legally blind daughter - but Agnes isn't quite sure what they are protecting her from.   Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it's the sort  of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else.    So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, police sirens  wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn't  hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught  will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo's dad, staying ahead of  the authorities, and - worst of all - confronting some ugly secrets.   A story about the ferocity of friendship and the risks we'll take to save our friends ... And ourselves.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56299829559669,"sku":"9781444932706","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781444932706_b90014da-2f13-4b72-a0cb-027b4346d500.jpg?v=1786020607"},{"product_id":"9781444903508","title":"Hamilton High: The DUFF","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is smart, cynical, loyal - and well aware that she's not the hot one in her group of friends.

An addictive page-turner from bestselling US sensation Kody Keplinger, author of THE DUFF.   It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story - that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did - and didn't - happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312383832437,"sku":"9781444933628","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781444933628_71c38510-7395-428c-b6e0-03514364ab61.jpg?v=1786020611"},{"product_id":"9780702349294","title":"Where Lost Girls Go","description":"From Kody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author      of The Duff, comes an addictive YA thriller that's The      Girls by Emma Cline meets The Girls I've Been      by Tess Sharpe.
