Sal by Mick Kitson

4.0

Another underrated gem of a book! First of all, that cover 😍 it is stunning! Then Mick Kitson’s SAL drew me in right away with the beautiful description of the Scottish highlands, but the plot kept me reading. This book is described as a story of survival as two young girls, Sal and her sister Peppa, run away from their abusive life into the wilderness, but I think it is much more than that. It’s about Sal learning to trust again, and finding that there are good people in the world. This novel was incredibly touching.
Bottom line: read it if you like survival stories, coming of age books, and Scotland!
