Linda Jones is back with a new novel for young readers!

“I didn’t know what revenge was before I met Bunny. I didn’t think I even knew how to be angry. I wasn’t the kind of person who got angry, even when I should have.
But now I was chasing after them.
Now I was clawing at their hoods.
Now I was pinning down their flailing legs.
I was a wild dog, a wild harpy; I wanted to see blood.
Afterwards, we ran with our arms in the air. I didn’t know what it meant to be free, but that was how I felt.
Free.”

VERA, JASSE AND Minna have been best friends for years, but when they start seventh grade, everything changes. On the first day of school, they see some older girls leaning against the wall, wearing Dr. Martens and bored looks. It’s not long before they reach out to Jasse, the cool one. The girls call themselves Bunny and Bunny is out to get revenge. On guys who call girls whore and behave like pigs, without any consequences. And they want Jasse to join them. In a desperate attempt not to get left behind Vera also joins their new group.

THE FIRST REVENGE takes place in the forest. An attack on a carefully selected guy. Dressed in dark clothes and with their scarves pulled up to their eyes, they become a pack. Afterwards, it doesn’t feel so good. Or does it? Vera isn’t sure.

DURING THE FALL, Vera and Jasse drift further and further away from Minna. She knows nothing about the meetings, the evenings, the forest. Or so they think. In the middle of everything, Vera meets a guy, Isak. He is the first and the greatest. But Bunny spares no one.

PRIDE OF LIONS is a captivating young adult novel that raises questions about revenge, guilt and responsibility. Award-winning Linda Jones writes with absolute clarity about loneliness, vulnerability, friendship and the dangers of being young.
