Manjeet Mann writes young adult fiction, often in verse, about migration, domestic abuse, identity and girls trying to take control of their own futures. Run, Rebel follows Amber, a British Punjabi teenager whose love of running and school life conflicts with violence and restrictions at home. The Crossing tells two parallel stories in verse: Natalie, dealing with grief in Britain, and Sammy, a refugee making a dangerous journey towards Europe. Mann’s books are direct, fast and emotionally intense, with the verse form creating short, urgent scenes rather than decorative poetry. Her work suits readers of YA verse novels, British Asian fiction, refugee stories and contemporary books about coercive family relationships. Read more Less
