In Randy Boyagoda's young adult book Little Sanctuary, we delve into the lives of children from the Global South living in a world torn apart by conflict. Sent to a remote island school to seek refuge by their wealthy parents, the children begin to question the intentions of those looking after them. After teenaged Sabel and her siblings witness unexpected violence, they must rally the others and plot an escape. We are looking forward to welcoming Boyagoda at the festival this year!

Little Sanctuary is now available from Tradewind Books
