The Panopticon

Fifteen-year old Anais Hendricks is smart, funny and fierce, but she is also a child who has been let down, or worse, by just about every adult she has ever met. Sitting in the back of a police car, she finds herself headed for the Panopticon, a home for chronic young offenders where the social workers are as suspicious as its residents.

THE TIMES

Fifteen-year-old Anais Hendricks is smart, funny and fierce, but she has also been let down by every adult she has ever met. Sitting in the back of a police car, she finds herself headed for The Panopticon, a home for chronic offenders where the social workers are as suspicious as its residents. But Anais can't remember the events that have led her there, or why she has blood on her school uniform.

Bold, brave and joyous, Jenni Fagan's critically acclaimed debut is a masterful depiction of systematic failure and one girl's fight back.
