How I Live Now meets Exodus – a startling YA dystopia that imagines London as the epicentre of the refugee crisis, from critically acclaimed author Clare Furniss.

‘Compulsive, poignant YA dystopia’ The Guardian
‘An exquisite, devastating read’ The Irish Times
‘Genuinely moving’ Daily Mail
‘Reminiscent of Meg Rosoff’s How I Live Now and Paul Lynch’s Book Prize-winning dystopia Prophet Song, this is a devastating novel which speaks to the present political moment’ Just Imagine


Civil unrest in London has reached an all-time high after years of a growing authoritarian regime, and it’s no longer safe for Clem and her half-sister Billie in the city. Clem tells of their treacherous journey to Scotland, by road and then by sea, fleeing with nothing but a notebook filled with stories and memories of home. But is there something Clem's not saying? And how will this journey – and the sisters’ story – end? With the start of a new life? Or a mirror held up to the past?

PRAISE FOR THE THINGS WE LEAVE BEHIND:

‘Beautifully written, page-turning in the extreme, and deep and person and global’ A.F. Harrold, author of The Imaginary and The Worlds We Leave Behind
 
‘I couldn’t stop reading The Things We Leave Behind… Devastating and unsparing but full of hope and love too. It was a privilege to read it.’ Candy Gourlay, author of Wild Song
 
‘This book is exceptional… Years and Years meets The End We Start From for teenagers. Should be on every secondary set text list.’ Joanna Nadin, author of A Calamity of Mannerings
 
‘Gripping, moving, tense, twisty and very, very necessary… It all felt so utterly real and terrifyingly possible.’ Lisa Williamson, author of The Art of Being Normal
 
‘Such moving, thought-provoking, compelling story-telling. Wonderful characters. Utterly convincing. I loved it.’ Julia Green, author of Ettie and the Midnight Pool

‘Reminiscent of Meg Rosoff’s How I Live Now and Paul Lynch’s Book Prize-winning dystopia Prophet Song, this is a devastating novel which speaks to the present political moment’ Just Imagine

Excellent Quality – Perfect for Custom Projects
Size: 13"x19"
When I ordered this paper, I wasn’t sure if it would be thick enough. My daughter wanted to create a custom calendar for the family, and I offered to handle the printing. I noticed it was double-sided and appeared to have a similar finish on both sides, so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, the quality was even better than expected. The thickness was just right for the project, and the calendars turned out beautifully—crisp, vibrant, and professional-looking. The paper held the colors well throughout the entire print job. In the end, the whole family loved how the calendars came out. I’d definitely use this paper again for future creative projects!

A-SUB Iron-On
Number of Items: 20
I am thoroughly impressed with the A-SUB Iron-On Heat Transfer Paper! The color accuracy is excellent; my designs printed vividly and transferred beautifully to my white cotton shirts with pigment ink, looking almost like a professional sublimation print. Printer compatibility is a breeze as it works perfectly with my standard inkjet printer, and I experienced no paper jams. For use, it's incredibly versatile for DIY projects like t-shirts, tote bags, and aprons. The included instructions were clear, making the transfer process with my home iron straightforward for a beginner like me. The paper's thickness feels sturdy enough to go through the printer without issues but isn't overly bulky on the fabric after pressing. Considering the quality and the number of sheets in the pack (I got 20 sheets for around $14 USD), the value for money is fantastic. The transfers have held up well after several washes (following the care instructions carefully—inside out, cold water, no bleach), with no cracking or peeling. This is a great product for anyone looking to personalize their wardrobe!

Looking for JetProSS? This is the closest you will find on Amazon, might even be better?
If you are like us and have been in need of JPSS quickly, i'm sure you have tried various brands on here that were available for white the next day. Some come close to Neenah's almost perfect Jet Pro line but you typically get the 'negative' area dark box on lighter greys and even on some whites. Since we are familiar with A-Sub's amazing Sub paper, we deceided to give this a run for the money. Impressive. This paper is awesome! Really like the outcome of the graphic. Were just a few of the comments made by pressers that day. Think we are going to give a head-to-head competition with some this week and will post pics post-press and after washing to see how it holds up vs JPSS Stay away from brands on here that appear to be beta versions and actually have their models labeled with 1.0, 2.0 etc. They might be ok for a one off event where the likely hood of someone wearing again post event is slim Happy with the outcome thus far! Great quality and price we will be back for sure!
