The Killing Jar

Read The Killing Jar Storyline:

Five-year-old Kerrie-Ann Hill has an unusual neighbour. Mrs Ivanovich
collects butterflies and she shows Kerrie-Ann how to catch them, take
care of them, and evenhow to kill them using a jar and some
funny-smelling liquid. Kerrie-Ann loves looking at these beautiful,
delicate creatures, and imagines them flying free...This is Kerrie-Ann’s
story. She doesn’t know who her father is, and her mother is a junkie.
By the age of ten, she’s selling drugs at school. By twelve, she’s been
beaten up by a customer, hidden stolen guns, done time in a girls’ home,
and already has a taste for whizz. And then there’s Mark – her only
true friend and the one person she can trust. Their friendship turns
into a powerful love and together they are invincible. But in their
world it’s easy to lose control. On the drug-riddled estate with an
atmosphere as lethal as a killing jar, it seems that Kerrie-Ann doesn’t
stand a chance. Unless she can make use of what Mrs Ivanovich taught her
all those years ago.
