Teva's life seems normal: school, friends, boyfriend. But at home she hides an impossible secret.
Eleven other Tevas.
Because once a year, Teva separates into two, leaving a younger version of herself stuck at the same age, in the same house... watching the new Teva live the life that she'd been living. But as her seventeenth birthday rolls around, Teva is determined not to let it happen again. She's going to fight for her future. Even if that means fighting herself.

Reviews / Votes
A gripping thriller with a sinister sci-fi edge, exploring family, identity and sacrifice. * The Bookseller * A definite page turner and I read it almost in one sitting. Be warned - this is one of those books that stops time and there is a risk your real life will be put on hold while you follow Teva's story. * The Book Bag * A gripping thriller with a sinister sci-fi edge. * The Bookseller * Of all of us, teenagers are surely the most enthralled by ideas of self and self-determination and this creepy, unusual novel will have them glued to the pages. * LoveReading4Kids * A super-smart, standout read that takes a pinch of sci-fi, a dash of romance and a hefty dose of tension and mixes them up in a contemporary test tube. It grabbed me from the very first page and didn't let go! * Tamsyn Murray, author of My So-Called Afterlife *More details

Person
Kathryn Evans has been an actor, a waitress, a celery cutter and a newspaper deliverer - she's even scrubbed the decks of the Mary Rose. Now she combines being an author with being a mum, running a strawberry farm, volunteering as finance co-ordinator for SCBWI, occasionally performing belly dance and fencing competitively. Kathryn's debut novel More of Me was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and won the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award - the first YA novel ever to do so.
