New in the Library this week, and on the YA Book Prize display is one of the most emotional books I have read recently – Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield.

Today, I’ll tell him. Today, I’ll tell him everything.

June’s life at home with her stepmother and stepsister is a dark one – and a secret one. Not even her dad knows the truth. She’s trapped like a butterfly in a jar.

Then June meets Blister, a boy in the woods. In him, she finds a glimmer of hope that perhaps she can find a way to fly far, far away.

But freedom comes at a price…

Read this book – it will break your heart.
