Yes, it's about a government sanctioned retreat where kids are reprogrammed as a cure for the 'unhappiness epidemic'. Think the author's a mental health nurse, so it's familiar territory but with a really interesting angle.

Happy Head by Josh Silver is great on this, like a psychological Hunger Games.

It's from 2 hours 48 in on BBC Sounds. Pretty poor discussion, I agree.

My BSU MA for Writing for Young People 2024 cohort revealed our cover for our Inkland Anthology. Cover art and design is by illustrator Ellie Sandall and is utterly gorgeous 🤩
