‘The concept is so original and so gripping that I can’t get it out of my head… Joe with an E encourages the reader to explore questions about gender, identity, family and belonging all through a page-turning adventure.’ Sarah Hagger-Holt, author of Nothing Ever Happens Here and The Fights That Make Us Britain is populated by genetically engineered neuts – no males, no females. Joe is a boy – an anomaly who should have been destroyed in the pregnancy pod, or given corrective surgery as soon as he was born. Rescued by DiG, an underground network, he’s nurtured to full-term and handed over to his parents. His differences must be kept hidden. But now his body is changing, it won’t be possible to pass as a neut for much longer. The heart-wrenching decision is made – he must go to the island, where there’s a secret community of others like him. The perilous journey to get there isn’t the end of Joe’s troubles. It’s just the start. |
