Andrea Hampton is going to get through the north-midland gloom and misery her way, she'll get Brendan James, a pop-star look-alike, and be like the older girls. But Andrea hasn't planned on the possibility of being a teenage mum, or, on the move to London, where life could be fun... Red Moon: secrets of a sixties schoolgirl is based on the author's life in the mid-1960s, UK. It's a world of pirate radio, Beatles, mods and rockers, suspenders, and a horse called Flash, against bleak moors, fog and furnaces to final sunshine. This is an evocation of teen rebellion, discontent and decisions, amidst grief, love and longing. It takes the reader from the dark and difficult - issues faced in today's world as well as the sixties, to a lighter and brighter stage. An initiation of sorts. A coming of age
