Annies mother is a serial killer.
The only way she can make her stop is to hand her in to the police.
But out of sight is not out of mind.
As her mothers trial looms, the secrets of her past wont let Annie sleep, even with a new foster family and name - Milly.
A fresh start. Now, surely, she can be whoever she wants to be.
But Millys mother is still a serial killer. And blood is thicker than water.
Good me, bad me.
She is, after all, her mothers daughter...
Translated into over 20 languages, Good Me Bad Me is a tour de force. In its narrator, Milly Barnes, we have a voice to be reckoned with, and in its author, Ali Land, an extraordinary new talent.
