Little Mice
Autor Tara Croween Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2026 – vârsta până la 18 ani
In the Canopy Complex, no one grows old. Age is for the little mice, for the donors far below who bleed so the privileged can thrive. Seventeen-year-old Astra Fairwood has never questioned the system. Why would she? As the daughter of the Chief Enforcer, her future is secure – a life of parties and privilege. Until everything is taken from her.
Cast out of the Canopy and condemned to the Donor Zone, Astra is forced into the very world she was raised to fear. She meets a girl who challenges everything she thought she wanted, and soon learns the Canopy taught her to fear the wrong thing. The real threat was never the Zone.
With tensions rising and the people she loves most in danger, Astra must choose between the life she was promised and the truth she can no longer ignore. Does a world built on the blood of others deserve to survive?

Notă biografică
Little Mice is Tara Crowe's debut novel. She spent her childhood with her nose buried in books. After university, she spent a decade in publishing sales at The Guardian and New Scientist before moving into early years education, where she taught phonics using storytelling, puppets, and a fair amount of enthusiastic (if questionable) singing.
More recently, Tara worked at Ingenious, a company making collagen supplements. She was fascinated by the increasingly clever ways science can trick our bodies into looking and feeling younger, and the inspiration for her novel Little Mice came from a news segment about young blood plasma being used to rejuvenate older people — a concept she found both intriguing and unsettling. The idea lingered: What happens when youth itself becomes a commodity?
She lives in South London, England with her husband, teenage children, an adventurous cat, and a spectacularly lazy dog.
