Book details
Leanne Hall - Author
This is an imaginative, gothic-leaning sequel about returning to a strange place and choosing to act when someone is in trouble. Expect romance, dreamlike uncertainty and an unusual world rather than straightforward realism.
The dark is dangerous. So is the past. So are your dreams. For six months Nia-Wildgirl-has tried to forget Wolfboy, the mysterious boy she spent one night with in Shyness-the boy who said he'd call but didn't. Then Wolfboy calls. The things he tells her pull her back to the suburb of Shyness, where the sun doesn't rise and dreams and reality are difficult to separate. There, Doctor Gregory has seemingly disappeared, the Darkness is changing and Wolfboy's friend is in trouble. And Nia decides to become Wildgirl once more. This is the sequel to 'This is shyness'.

The book presents darkness as dangerous, a troubled friend, disturbing dream-consciousness experiments and difficulty separating dreams from reality. These elements may merit a conversation before or during reading.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
