    About this ebook

    'I Am Margaret' comes to the stage!
    In Margo's world, the "imperfect" are recycled. Literally.
    Margaret Verrall dreams of marrying the boy she loves and spending her life with him. But she’s part of the underground network of Believers – and that carries the death penalty. But before she can be unmasked as a Believer, she fails her Sorting and is reassigned as spare parts. Bane swears to rescue her before she can be dismantled, but a chance to take on the system ups the stakes beyond mere survival. Now she has to break out of the Facility—or face the worst punishment of all: Conscious Dismantlement.
    Freshly adapted for the stage by acclaimed Catholic novelist and playwright, Fiorella de Maria, the first book in Corinna Turner's Carnegie Medal Nominated I AM MARGARET series is now a challenging 90 minute play full of adventure and suspense—and a touch of romance. If you’re looking for a production that delves into the real emotional cost of martyrdom and standing up for what you believe in, this is the play for you!

    Praise for the Novel:
    “Great style ... like The Hunger Games.”
    EOIN COLFER, author of 'Artemis Fowl'.

She has an MA in English from Oxford University, but has foolishly gone on to work with both children and animals! Juggling work with the disabled and being a midwife to sheep, she spends as much time as she can in a little hut at the bottom of the garden, writing.She is a Catholic Christian with roots in the Methodist and Anglican churches. A keen cinema-goer, she lives in the UK with her Giant African Land Snail, Peter, who has a six inch long shell and an even larger foot!
