Arty has always lived in the Clearing, a small settlement in the forests of south India.
But their happy life, hidden from the rest of the world, is shattered after a terrible event.
For the first time in her sixteen years, Arty must leave the only place she's ever known, and head into the outside world she fears, but is also slightly intrigued by.
Her only goal is to get help from a woman called Tania, who used to live in the forest, and an uncle she knows is out there, somewhere.
As she embarks on the terrifying journey, stalked by a strange new enemy she can't fathom, Arty soon realises that not everyone is to be trusted.
Everything is changing too fast for this girl who came out of the woods... could she be running into a trap?
Emily Barr worked as a journalist in London but always hankered after a quiet room and a book to write. She went travelling for a year, which gave her an idea for a novel set in the world of backpackers in Asia. This became BACKPACK, an adult thriller which won the WH Smith New Talent Award, and she has since written eleven more adult novels published in the UK and around the world. Her first Young Adult novel, THE ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS, has been published in 26 languages worldwide.
Her latest YA novel is THE GIRL WHO CAME OUT OF THE WOODS, which was published in May 2019.
THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD will be published by Penguin in May 2021.
She lives in Cornwall with her partner and their children.
