How To Be A Human

A quietly powerful story about friendship, feeling different and finding your place.

When Lena moves to a new town, she feels like she’s landed on a different planet. Everything is unfamiliar: the school, the people and even the way she feels inside. Just when she’s convinced she’ll never fit in, she meets a mysterious girl called Rae who doesn’t quite fit in either.

But Rae isn’t like anyone Lena’s ever met. She sees the world differently. She’s curious, intense and asks questions no one else dares to. Rae’s convinced she’s not human and maybe, in her own way, she’s right.

Told with heart and tenderness, How to Be Human is a story about otherness and belonging, quiet resilience and the unexpected ways friendship can help us understand ourselves. It invites readers to consider what it really means to be "normal" and whether that's something anyone truly is.

A beautiful, big-hearted read for anyone who’s ever felt a little out of step and a gentle reminder that being different can be its own kind of superpower.
