What it means to fall in love when angels are falling from the sky.

Sophie Cameron was born in the Scottish Highlands and has lived in Canada, France, Spain and Germany. She has been shortlisted for the Bath Children’s Novel Award and her first novel, Out of the Blue, was featured in SCBWI’s Undiscovered Voices in 2016.

When angels start falling from the sky, it seems like the world is ending. But for Jaya the world ended when her mother died, two weeks before the first angel fell. Smashing down to earth at extraordinary speeds, wings bent, not a single one has survived and Jaya's father uproots the family to Edinburgh, intent on catching one alive. But Jaya can't stand his obsession and, struggling to make sense of her mother's sudden death and her own role on that fateful day, she's determined to stay out of it.

Set against the backdrop of the frenzied Edinburgh festival in August, Sophie Cameron's Out of the Blue tackles questions of grief, guilt and fear over who we really are. But it’s also about love and acceptance and finding your place in this world as angels drop out of another.
