Run Zan Run


This book Run Zan Run is about a girl Katie who is being bullied at school. One day she comes across a girl on the dumpsite who has a likely resemblance to her. This girl who we come to call Zan is on the run from a everyone after people think that she killed her parents in a house fire. The book tells of her helping Katie to stand up to her bullies and tells her story as well.
It was a really good book which I could not put down.

Fighting Back

'Fighting Back' was the first book by Catherine MacPhail that I ever read. It is about a girl, Kerry, and her mother who move into a council housing estate which is dominated by a horrible criminal family, the Lafferty's. Their lives are made hell by by Ma Lafferty and her daughter Tess as they show who is boss.

When I first read this book I was only about 10 years old and 8 years on I am still hooked to Catherine MacPhails books.
Im writing a blog about books produced by the scottish author Catherine MacPhail.
She has written many books which all deal with teenage issues that people live with everyday such as bullying and teenage pregnancy.
