Lawrence is one of our finest writers of contemporary YA, with an enviable knack for complex, believable characters.
This powerful urban story will challenge preconceptions and melt the hardest heart. - The Sun on Orangeboy
A truly brilliant book. I galloped through it. Spoiler alert! The car incident and standoff at the end… edge of the seat stuff! - Malorie Blackman on OrangeboyA contemporary urban thriller with a powerful family drama at its heart - The Bookseller on Orangeboy…another brilliant story that will suck you in and leave you looking at the world through different eyes.

CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE WEEK. - Sunday Times on Indigo DonutA tender and complex story of first love, family and belonging… Lawrence is a vibrant, accomplished storyteller… but what really sets her writing apart is her skill in getting to the raw heart of her characters.
