September 2022 Debut of the Month | Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2023

Singing loud, proud positive messages about sisterhood and treading your own path, this collaboration between songwriters Becky Jerams and Ellie Wyatt totally rocks. Driven by a duo of inspiring characters, and wrapped up in the glamour and sobering realities of fame, The Songs You've Never Heard is an authentic, stirring story about finding your true voice and not being afraid to use it.

“Songs are funny like that. Sometimes they come into your life at the perfect moment. Just when you need to hear them the most.” The same can be true of people, as Meg discovers when she starts working in a Brighton yoghurt shop - glad to escape her pop-star brother’s tantrums and the pressures of being a family brand on social media - and meets big, confident songwriter Alana.

Secretly a talented musician in her own right, Meg is initially suspicious of Alana – she reckons she’s just another fake using her to get close to her brother. But it turns out that they share a talent for singing and crafting songs, and Alana inspires Meg to share her work for the very first time.

A rollercoaster of possibilities, inhibiting fears, set-backs and conflicts unfold, but through it all the young women, who name their musical collaboration The Lost Girls, find the strength of sisterhood and discover that real life is “about knowing that sometimes you’re not going to get validation from other people, even when you deserve it. And that’s OK. You don’t need anyone’s approval to keep doing what you love.” 

If that wasn’t enough, through Alana readers go on a journey about body positivity, and there’s also thrilling love story involving secret identities.
