"I am Medusa Girl. Cold as rock, hard as stone". This is how Fran armours herself against a world that in her eyes offers nothing but betrayal. This is a modern Robinson Crusoe with a feisty teenage girl as the castaway. She is not likeable, but the reader really wants to find out how she fares. Aimed at a young adult audience this should grab the attention.
