+ Want to read

Inside My Head tells the story of three very different teenagers: Gary, a young man struggling to control his anger under great provocation and unable to communicate. David - increasingly uncomfortable with allowing bullying to go on around him, but too scared to do anything about it. Zoe - independent, freethinking and brave, she is new to the school and the only one who seems to see Gary through fresh eyes.
