True Tears

Paper Boats and Butterflies: True Tears, is the second of a trilogy for a young adult audience.

It is still 2015 and continues the story of Erin Winslow and Z89 Marcon, two girls who live very different lives. We travel back to Cornwall and then on to Shropshire, meeting many new characters.

Education can be very different for all young people and a challenge for many, none more so than Z89 and Erin. Erin soon discovers what life has been like for Z89 and vice versa. Education in Zephyr School can be very harsh, but students are also rewarded. Newton School allows much more freedom showing Miranda that you can speak freely and stand up for what you believe in.

Family and friends are usually there for you, to support and help, but not always in the way you want them to. Some you can trust and others you can’t. Both Erin and Z89 discover who is true to them.

Miranda has found her family, yet Z84 has been abandoned by hers. Miranda is finally free while Z84 is incarcerated within the confines of Zephyr; escape is the only option. The Teardrops can help, but who are they and can they be trusted? Zephyr and Trefoil hold many secrets – can they be unlocked in time to stop more tears from falling?
