About the Book
 
A novel in verse about teenage love and friendships, lost and found.

Daisy can feel like a solo act at home. On the outside of her twin brothers' intense relationship, she leans towards her parents, particularly her father, for support. As a passionate classical musician, she is not wildly popular at school, but she has one close friend and a life filled with musical performance. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend suddenly breaks up with her, and Daisy is left disconnected from her one true love, music.

When she makes a new friend at school, mysterious Flora, Daisy finds a glimmer of peace in her chaotic life. Just as everything seems to be getting better, they all fall apart. Family tensions heighten as Daisy's dad falls ill and Daisy needs to decide should she find her way back to who she was or look towards who she is going to become.

PRAISE FOR SOLO

Solo is a triumph. I absolutely adore it.
DONAL RYAN

Full of wisdom and music and rhythm with a story as compelling and true as they come, Solo is for anyone who's ever felt lost, or afraid, or misunderstood, or alone. In other words, it's for everybody.
SARAH MOORE FITZGERALD

A lyrical exploration of heartbreak and healing.
AMY CLARKIN

A tightly written, incredibly well-characterized work: bravo.
STARRED KIRKUS REVIEW

An incredible coming-of-age YA novel written in verse... Solo is honest, raw and utterly heartbreaking with hope shining through.
