Charm and Strange by Stephanie Kuehn (author) (UK edition)

Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2014

If the cover doesn’t weird you out, the story will. Jekyll and Hyde in a real, modern setting. A twisted boy whose darkest fear is of himself: the wolfish predator within. Don’t say my name, he says. You have no idea who I really am. It’s true. Nobody really knows Andrew Winters. Least of all himself. Part of him is Win: the lonely teenager exiled to a remote boarding school after a family tragedy. The guy who shuts the whole world out; who fears the savage within. The other part is Drew: the angry boy who feeds on violence. Who secretly loves the darkness. And who, one fateful summer, was part of something so terrible it came close to destroying him.
