It only taykes one person to start a revolushun.
Life in Bearmouth is one of hard labour, the sunlit world above the mine a distant memory. Reward will come in the next life with the benevolence of the Mayker. New accepts everything - that is, until the mysterious Devlin arrives. Suddenly, Newt starts to look at Bearmouth with a fresh perspective, questioning the system, and setting in motion a chain of events that could destroy their entire world.
In this powerful and brilliantly original debut novel, friendship creates strength, courage is hard-won and hope is the path to freedom.
'One of the most ambitious and darkly brilliant YA books I've read. It's provocative, tender, claustrophobic and epic. It blew my mind.'
Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars
'Darkly brilliant. I was totally immersed... subterranean and claustrophobic and a vivid voice telling the story.'
Gill Lewis, author of Sky Hawk
'Like nothing I have read before... hand-in-mouth gripping... [Hyder] will become a household name and her books a curriculum staple.'
The Times
'An extraordinary dystopian novel ... compelling and original.'
Sunday Times
'Bearmouth is devastating, genre breaking, a book in which the very language changes as the plot progresses. A Jonathan Livingstone Seagull for today. I can't wait to see what Hyder does next, I will go wherever she takes me.'
