Synopsis "No Accident "

No matter how you try to hide it, the truth will always come out . . .When a small plane crash ends with a group of seven teens washed up on a deserted island, their first thought is survival. With supplies dwindling and the fear of being stranded forever becoming more of a reality, they quickly discover that being the most popular kid in high school doesn't help when you're fighting to stay alive.And when strange and terrifying accidents start to occur all around them, the group realizes that they are being targeted by someone who was on the plane, and that the island isn't their only danger. A terrible secret from a party the night before the flight has followed them ashore--and it's clear that someone is looking for justice. Now survival depends on facing the truth about that party: who was hurt that night, and who let it happen?"Laura Bates is one of the most important feminist voices we have and The Trial is engaging and clever, thought-provoking and thrilling. I inhaled it in one sitting." -- Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For ItPraise for THE BURNING: "A haunting rallying cry against sexism and bullying" -- Kirkus Reviews"Emotionally charged...powerful." -- Booklist"A painfully realistic, spellbinding novel." -- Shelf Awareness

British feminist writer, collaborates with The Guardian among other publications. Founded the Everyday Sexism Project website in April 2012. Her first book, Everyday Sexism, was published in 2014. Previously worked as an actress and nanny, a period during which she experienced sexism in auditions and discovered that the girls she cared for were overly concerned about their image. During an interview for The Daily Telegraph, in April 2014, Bates stated: «Feminism means to me that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of their gender. We need to stop judging women by their appearance». «A man can be a father, doctor, politician, or lawyer, without his gender being a subject of comment —she told Anna Klassen from The Daily Beast—; it's not about men versus women, but people against prejudice». On the third anniversary of the website, in April 2015, Everyday Sexism had reached over 100,000 entries. Bates has also had to face online abuse. «Some talk about serial killers they admire and would like to emulate —she told Lucy Kellaway— and about the different weapons they would use on us». She was awarded the British Empire Medal in 2015 for gender equality services and received the Ultimate New Feminist Award from Cosmopolitan magazine in 2013.
