| book description |

This new poetry collection from the award-winning, bestselling crime writer reveals a fresh, exhilarating register of her work. Maverick and irreverent, Hannah’s poems delight in rhyme and rhythm, embracing wit, play and subversive intelligence. Alongside the poems sit the librettos of Sophie’s two acclaimed stage musicals, The Mystery of Mr E and Work Experience, blending song, satire and dramatic bite. Together, they offer a fierce and funny critique of how society treats children and teenagers, how we define work and worth, and what it means to grow up inside systems obsessed with productivity and profit. From a poet studied across GCSE, A Level and degree courses throughout the UK, this is a book that entertains even as it challenges – alive to the absurdities of the modern world.
