Synopsis

Independent living, work and education, relationships, prejudice, bullying and the dangers of social networking just some of the challenges facing 18-year-old control freak Holly Richards. How will she cope? And can she stay in control when everyday life descends into chaos? After leaving care Holly just wants to concentrate on being a student. So why do all the men she knows want to make her life so complicated? Whether it s her little brother, Ryan, threatened by Facebook bullies, a rock star boyfriend who s attracting way too much interest from the girls, an employer who thinks anyone in care is a criminal or arrogant Spider Boy, who fascinates as much as he repels her, there s plenty of hassle to keep Holly on her toes. No wonder she feels her life is spiralling out of control! This sequel to the highly successful Control Freak is fast-paced, entertaining and moving all the way through to the sudden, shocking ending. Losing Control is a must-have read for young people living in and leaving care. It is intended for young adults and may not be suitable for readers under the age of 13.
