A reminder: royalties and international sales from Siobhan Dowd's books go to the trust she set up just before she died. It makes grants to give disadvantaged young people the chance to read and enjoy literature. You should buy this book anyway but you should also buy it for that.
If ''The Pavee and the Buffer Girl'' appeals, you might also look at [[Asylum by Rachel Anderson]] which also talks about prejudice, this time against asylum seekers in the UK. Or if you are more interested in graphic novels that take on big topics, you could try [[Tyranny by Lesley Fairfield]], an eloquent and semi-autobiographical graphic novel about anorexia. Older readers might appreciate [[Preacher Volume 1: Gone To Texas by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon]].
