A brilliantly page-turning thriller with an unusual psychological twist, which fans of One of Us is Lying, Ace of Spades and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder will love.

'Memorable, fascinating and full of emotional complexity, this is an original, layered YA thriller.' Guardian

'Intense and compeling thriller ... a jaw-dropping ending ... powerful and thoroughly engrossing' LoveReading website

Sariyah is determined not to let her missing friend become just another statistic, one of many vanished Black girls. But despite her talent for ESP, Sariyah is struggling, even when the clues point surprisingly close to home.

When Sariyah's birthday celebrations at a music festival turn sour with the disappearance of one of her friends, she knows she can't rely on the police to find her. The authorities are no more help than they were when her friend's twin sister, another young woman of colour, went missing five years earlier. Sariyah feels guilty that her uncanny ability to predict people's needs didn't help to keep her friends safe. She is determined to find out what's happened to Deja. But the more she cracks the clues leading to her, the closer she gets to home ...

'An unputdownable mystery centering a missing Black girl and the relentless search of friends who won't give up on her. [...] Needy Little Things is a triumphant debut.' Jessica Lewis, author of Bad Witch Burning
