q books: FLICK
Little Island is proud to present:
Flick - The debut novel by Geraldine
Meade
ISBN 978-1-908195-01-2
Felicity Costello, aka Flick, is pretty much
like any other sixteen-year-old – except
for one difference. A difference she
doesn’t want anyone else to know about.
A difference she hardly admits even to
herself.
Flick is a brave and important first novel
which tells the story of a girl torn apart by
pressure to conform to what her peers
think is ‘normal’.
Geraldine Meade fearlessly explores
a teenage girl’s dark journey as Flick
struggles to resolve a conflict within
herself that seems insurmountable
through her own eyes and which she
feels would shame her in the eyes of
others.
Flick’s reckless behaviour and its
inevitable consequences as she struggles
with the secret of her sexuality is all too
true to life for so many teenagers. Meade
has created an inspiring character who,
instead of succumbing to darkness, finds
the courage to realise that you can’t help
who you fall in love with.
As honest as Judy Blume, as shocking
as Melvyn Burgess, Flick is a significant
addition to Irish young adult literature and
is necessary reading for teenagers and
adults alike.
