Scorpio's Child de Kezi Matthews
14-year-old Afton’s dad is away in the merchant navy when strange Uncle Bailey comes to stay. Uncle Bailey is strange and taciturn, and while neighbours assume he’s scarred from the war, Afton thinks it’s not that simple. His behaviour verges on the bizarre, but Mama simply won’t confide in Afton. What is the secret that Mama’s hiding about Uncle Bailey? Is he as sinister as he seems?

With a strong-willed protagonist, well-drawn secondary characters, and language evocative of time (1947) and place (South Carolina), Scorpio's Child is a well-written and pitch-perfect novel that will appeal to adults as well as teenage readers.
