Our Little Secret

“With honest depictions of bullying, sexual assault, grooming, power and politics, violence, and murder, Our Little Secret, the co-written debut from writers Edward Kay and Mikhael Klassen-Kay is a frank, few-holds-barred thriller that presses against the boundaries of young adult fiction … Our Little Secret is a suspenseful thriller rooted in the realities of contemporary teenage life, with plenty of twists and a keen sense of morality that will have readers cheering (perhaps quietly) for the protagonists to get away with their crime. While intended for young readers, the novel will appeal to most adult thriller readers as well.” Starred Review–Robert J. Wiersema “Quill & Quire”
“Our Little Secret is filled with twists, turns and mystery that wil keep teens on the edge of their seats until the last page.”– “Canadian Children’s Book News”
