Aliyah and her family have been made homeless. She is finding it hard not having a proper place to live. Trinity lives on a lovely street in a huge house. Her life appears to be so perfect, but all is not as it seems. Aliyah and Trinity lead very different lives, but both have something in common. What they want most is to live in a place that feels like a home.

The Two Sides series take important themes faced by many young people in today's world such as sexual identity, domestic abuse, racism and being a young carer and bring them to life through the words of a young person struggling to come to terms with them. These innovative books are written both from the main character's point of view and someone else who has made an assumption about the situation coloured by prejudice or ignorance. Appearances can be deceiving. In a judgemental world, can you see Two Sides?
