Bristol Bound

For 14-year-old Poppy, life in Birmingham has always been a right mess. Her dad was barely around, and her mum had her own issues, leaving Poppy to figure things out herself. Constantly fighting with her mum, she was known as the "out of control" kid - always causing trouble. Skipping school, getting into rucks with daft schoolgirls, and making a name for herself in all the wrong ways. No one cared, especially not her parents. She was the one who didn't fit in, always stirring up a row just to feel something. It was easier to be the rascal than to admit everything around her was going pear-shaped. After getting kicked out of her last school and constantly being in trouble with the fuzz, her reputation followed her wherever she went. But when her rents got well miffed at her for the last time, they decided to move the family to Bristol, hoping for a fresh start. Poppy's only got one thing on her mind: freedom. Bristol's a whole new world -new faces, new trouble, and chaos at every corner. Poppy's determined to make the most of it, letting strangers into her room and crashing wild parties with people who don't know her reputation. But even in a new town, she can't outrun her past. Things get complicated when she meets Chris, He's the type who doesn't need saving, doesn't want to fix her-and for once, Poppy isn't sure if that's a good thing or a bloody disaster waiting to happen. As Poppy's world spirals out of control, she crosses paths with some of Bristol's wildest characters-Maxxie, Sid, Michelle, Jal, Tony, Chris, Cassie, and Anwar. -each of them living life on the edge, challenging Poppy's idea of who she is and who she wants to be.
