'''Shortlisted for the 2016 CILIP Carnegie Medal'''
Shelby is seventeen. She dreams of going to college but her mother would never allow it. Shaylene is more than over-protective. She homeschools Shelby and rarely lets her daughter out on her own. She is obsessed with the danger that men present. Shelby loves her mother but can't help the odd twinge of resentment at the level of control she exerts and more than the odd twinge of embarrassment when she looks at they overweight, unfit, pyjama jeans-wearing Shaylene.
And you know what? That's all I'm going to say. ''There Will Be Lies'' is a clever book. Don't read it on the surface or you won't enjoy it enough. But do read it!
[[Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman]] also mixes a little bit of magic realism in a real -world story. And you shouldn't miss Lake's triumph of [[In Darkness by Nick Lake|In Darkness]]. We also have a review of [[The Secret Ministry of Frost by Nick Lake]].
