Flick

Felicity Costello, aka Flick, is pretty much like any other sixteen-year-old – except for one difference.

A difference she doesn’t want anyone else to know about.

A difference she hardly admits even to herself.

Not for the faint-hearted, Flick is a searingly honest depiction of teenage life as it is lived today.
