About the Books: Season of Secrets introduces Molly, sent to live with her grandparents after her mother's death. On a storm-lashed night she encounters a mysterious stranger fleeing a terrifying midnight hunt, and what follows is a haunting tale of myth, magic, and healing after grief. Critics have compared its atmosphere to classics like The Owl Service and Skellig, praising Nicholls as an exceptionally talented writer weaving ancient folklore into a moving coming-of-age story. The Silent Stars Go By shifts to 1919, three years after Margot's fiancé Harry went missing on the Western Front. Margot guards a devastating secret that threatens to unravel her life and reputation, and when Christmas brings unexpected news, she must confront the truth. Nominated for the Carnegie Medal and named a book of the year by the Observer and The Times, this is a quietly powerful story of love, duty, and honesty in the shadow of war. Together, these standalone novels show why Nicholls is one of the most respected voices in British young adult fiction, pairing lyrical prose with genuine emotional depth, and offer a rich, complementary reading experience across two different historical settings.
