Empress & Aniya

The first YA novel from the bestselling author of Queenie. When Empress starts at Aniya's school, they're not exactly best friends. But, when the two teenage girls accidentally cast a spell on their 16th birthday and end up switching bodies, they quickly learn that friendship is the most important magic of all ... South London's answer to 'Freaky Friday', Empress and Aniya is a moving portrayal of the importance of real friendship and the ups and downs of being a teenager.

Queenie has been described as 'vital', 'disarmingly honest', and 'boldly political', and won Book of the Year and Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards in 2020. It was longlisted for the Women's Prize, and was shortlisted for the Waterstones, Foyles and Goodreads Book of 2019, as well as selected as the Blackwell's Debut of the Year.
