Paula Rawsthorne: The Truth About Celia Frost

Paula Rawsthorne: The Truth About Celia Frost, Usborne Publishing
Description
Celia Frost is a friendless, freaky kid because of a disorder that leaves her in constant fear of bleeding to death. However, when she’s the victim of a knife attack, Celia realizes that her life has been based on a lie. Virtually imprisoned in a dingy flat on a grim estate and convinced that her mother is mad, Celia rebels, seeking freedom and finding friendship.
But as Celia enjoys her first taste of “normal” life, danger is closing in. Someone from her past is looking for her; someone who knows why Celia’s mother fears what will happen if Celia bleeds; someone who knows the truth about Celia Frost…
