Hate -Gibbons, Alan Children's Book

Six months ago Eve's sister, Rosie, died after an unprovoked attack. Eve cannot imagine life without her.

Six months ago Anthony witnessed a vicious assault. He did nothing to stop it.

Six months ago horror happened. Now Eve and Anthony meet and find it happening all over again.

Inspired by the tragic murder of Sophie Lancaster, this is a story about love, loss, hate and forgiveness, and about standing up against prejudice and believing in who we are.
