Louisa Reid has spent most of her life reading. And when she’s not doing that she’s writing stories, or imagining writing them at least. An English teacher, her favourite part of the job is sharing her love of reading and writing with her pupils. Louisa lives with her family in the north-west of England and is proud to call a place near Manchester home.
Activist achieves the perfect balance between heartbreak and hope in a compulsive and beautifully written story. I want girls to read this, I want boys to read it. I want it to be required reading for teachers, heads and parents everywhere! * Teri Terry, author * I devoured every word in an evening, the power of it resonating in my core. It left me trembling. * Kathryn Evans, YA author * I cannot wait to get this incredible and inspiring book into the hands of young people. Louisa Reid writes with such poetic beauty and yet there is a raw power to the words too. Just stunning! * King's Chester School Librarian * Powerful and passionate, Activist embraces the fury of young women who refuse to be silenced. An anthem to raising your voice, to standing your ground and to the friends who help you find hope where none seemed possible. Exquisite. * Amy Beashel, author * Strong, heartfelt and oh so powerful...Louisa's ability to play with language, to write so succinctly with such depth is wonderful. * Emma Perry, author *
