Book of the Week
This Can Never Not Be Real
by Sera Milano
When terrorists launch an attack on a music festival in a small town, five teenagers are pulled together by desperate acts to survive.
The story is told through the eyes of each of the five teens – Ellie, Joe, Violet, Peaches, and March – who know each other, but aren’t friends. The music festival was supposed to bring the whole town together, but when masked men open fire on the crowd with machine guns, it becomes a deadly trap.
There is nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide – all they can do is stick together and keep moving. Five teenagers with nothing to do with each other realise that they are all they have, but will they learn what it takes to survive before it’s too late?
This Can Never Not Be Real is a heart-stopping race for survival told from the points of view of five very relatable characters – guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
