BELLATRIX [noun: female warrior]

In literature and in life, women of the past and present have a million stories that are untold, mis-told or unheard.

In response, Hachette Children’s Group is proud to launch Bellatrix: a new collection of gripping, powerful and diverse young adult novels by leading female voices. From gothic to thriller to romance to funny, each book is entirely unique, but linked by a passion for telling her whole story.

In the first novel in the BELLATRIX collection, Costa-shortlisted author Kit de Waal responds to the classic Moby Dick with an astonishing coming-of-age story about obsession, self-discovery, and the people we meet along the way.
