Its 2010 and teenager Molly Peterson hates her life. Her best friend, bookworm Bethany Sinclair, has the social skills of a vacuum cleaner, the school princess, Hannah Mitchell, makes her every day a living hell, and her parents dont even know she exists. Molly dreams of the time when she can finally escape her remote Lake District home and take her place in the adult world. Ten years later and an unknown narrator is given his final task. As the skies burn, the planet is ravaged, and civilisation crumbles around him, he must rush to write the biography of a person who has changed both his life and the lives of all people still able to call themselves human. The name of that person is Molly Peterson. Welcome to Folio 55, the epic tale of one girl's ascent into womanhood and one world's descent into chaos. Through a collection of diary entries, news reports, military archives, personal testimonies, and many other sources, experience a story that weaves its pulsating, challenging, and rip-roaring way through contemporary history, science, religion, and culture, heading like a truth seeking missile towards that ultimate of revelations. Why are we here? Begin the journey with End of a Girl, book 1 in the series, and meet Molly, a scared, angry, and lost fifteen year old girl: in short, a typical British teenager. She hates her parents, she hates her small, Lake District town, she hates her school, and she hates most of the students who attend it. That's a lot of hate but then what else is there for a girl to do in a society that raises up happiness even as it kicks away the means of achieving it? The result of one particularly cruel joke leaves her running scared from her tormentors and from the world she knows, sending her stumbling into an event that overwhelms her even as it defies her ability to understand, or even to describe it. As the normality that she regards with such disdain attempts to reassert itself, she tries to forget what has happened to her but every time she thinks she has succeeded, another crazy, impossible incident occurs to drag her further from it. There can be only one answer: she is going insane! Other powers, though, have taken notice, unknown and unannounced powers that will investigate, that will consider, and that will act. Hunted for reasons she cannot understand, changing in ways she cannot imagine, Molly's life begins to fall apart, her dreams, her hopes, and her aspirations driving off into one sunset even as she feels herself being pushed, being pulled towards a different horizon. Is that the faintest crack of a new dawn in front of her or is it just the all-consuming madness of a never ending night? Buy the book and find out!
