Furious Thing Summary

Furious Thing by Jenny Downham

Lexi's angry. And it's getting worse. If only she could stop losing her temper, her step-father would accept her, her mum would love her again, and her step-brother would return her feelings. She wants these things so badly, she tries to push her fury down. But it isn't easy. Her rage is there for a reason. And if she stays quiet - she might just lose herself...

Furious Thing Reviews

SHORTLISTED for the Costa Children's Book Award and the YA Book Prize ----- One of the Sunday Times' Best Children's Books of the Year ----- 'Wise, gripping and skilfully told... It gives permission to rage when fury is warranted' The Sunday Times' Children's Book of the Week ----- 'Piercingly well-observed... a masterpiece of shame and desire' Financial Times ----- 'A painfully enthralling, fiercely feminist account of emotional abuse and appropriate rage' Guardian ----- 'Powerful' Observer ----- 'Furiously brilliant' Holly Bourne ----- 'Breathtakingly good' Lisa Williamson ----- 'A wonderful book brimming with empathy and justified anger' Patrice Lawrence ----- 'It shows how we all have the power to protect ourselves, to stand together, to stand for what's right' Happiful Magazine

About Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham trained as an actor and worked in alternative theatre before starting to write. Her first book, BEFORE I DIE, is an international bestseller. It won the Branford Boase Award and was shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. Her second novel, YOU AGAINST ME, won the Waterstones Teen Fiction Prize, and her third novel, UNBECOMING, was shortlisted for the YA Book Prize and won the Stonewall Honor Award from the American Library Association. Jenny lives in London. She hopes that this story encourages more girls to make a noise so that their voices can be heard.
