Secrets. Lies. Promises. Sometimes keeping things inside is dangerous.
Callie, Ted, Zara, and Nico are best friends. More than friends – they’re like family to each other. But since being embarrassed at school in a practical joke gone wrong, Ted has stopped talking to the rest of the gang.
And when Callie, Zara and Nico discover that someone has been living in their school, and sleeping in the building at night, they decide to investigate – without Ted.
A wise, heart-warming story of friendship and family, from the highly-acclaimed author of Ella on the Outside, Not My Fault, and How to be Me.

The Insiders - Reviews
A close-knit group of friends decide to investigate when they discover that someone has been sleeping in their school. Expect a "hugely heart-warming" story of secrets, friendship and family.
The Bookseller
A deceptively simple story that packs an emotional punch about loneliness, rejection, friendship and honesty.
