Sometimes lies are safer than the truthWhen her mother is knocked down and killed by a London bus, fifteen-year-old Melon Fouraki is left with no family worth mentioning. Her mother, Maria, never did introduce Melon to a 'living, breathing' father. The indomitable Auntie Aphrodite, meanwhile, is hundreds of miles away on a farm in Crete, and is unlikely to be jumping on a plane and coming to East Finchley anytime soon. But at least Melon has 'The Story'. 'The Story' is the Fourakis family fairytale. A story is something. RED INK is a powerful coming-of-age tale about superstition, denial and family myth.

@LeahBergen said she wants to see #MintGreen for #BookColorTag and this was the ONLY book I could find that has that color. Such a difficult one! But I love how refreshing the color is. Would be interested in seeing other people's mint green titles.

LeahBergen It looks beautiful with that background. 😍😍 7y
