Jordan likes Hannah even though his friend says she's bad news. Jordan is sure it's just gossip... until Hannah starts cancelling their plans for no reason. Hannah likes Jordan, but she has to look after her dad and sister. She can't always find time to go out and have fun. Does Jordan care more about what his friend says than he does about Hannah? The Two Sides series has an innovative structure, where each book contains two parallel narratives, featuring differing perspectives on the same situation, and illustrating the dangers of someone making a judgement about a situation they know very little about. These thought-provoking stories follow a linear timeline and read almost as diary entries. The voice alternates each chapter, enabling the reader to keep up with events whilst gaining a multi-dimensional insight at the same time. Penned by experienced authors, these captivating narratives cover serious themes faced by many young people in today's world - family breakdown, identity, domestic abuse, racism and being a young carer. With around 4,000 words and a reading age of 8-9, these books will appeal to struggling readers aged 13+. They would also make perfect quick reads for more able readers.
