Anna

by Sean Paul Connolly

“Teenager Matt is going through a lot of changes. Following a death in the family, he moves with his mother into a new house and to a new school. Before long, it becomes clear that something isn’t quite right. Who is ‘Anna’? And why has Matt become so obsessed with drawing?”
