Pet

Like
every other girl in her class, twelve-year-old Justine is drawn to her
glamorous, charismatic new teacher, and longs to be her pet. However,
when a thief begins to target the school, Justine’s sense that something
isn’t quite right grows ever stronger.

With
each twist of the plot, this gripping story of deception and the
corrosive power of guilt takes a yet darker turn. Young as she is,
Justine must decide where her loyalties lie.

Set in New Zealand in 1984 and 2014, and probing themes of racism and misogyny, Pet is an elegant and chilling psychological thriller by the bestselling author of The Wish Child, Remote Sympathy and The Axeman’s Carnival.
