Layla's Room : Bloomsbury Methuen Drama : 9781350027572 : 135002757X : 15 Sep 2016 : Respect women, respect girls. Respect yourselves. Remember you are everyone who's gone before you and you are nobody that has ever been, so make it count, make it special, make a difference, make people listen, love the women who have loved you and watch us make the world move to a better place. For Layla, every day is a battleground. The pay gap, the thigh gap, over-sexed pop and selfies that are photoshopped ? they're just part of the world she lives in. But that world is about to change. While breaking out of her bedroom ? and with drama, comedy, poetry and music as her weapons ? Layla breaks down and makes sense of the realities, difficulties and absurdities of teenage life in the UK today. Collected from a bespoke national survey, the voices of a thousand UK teens are brought to life in Layla. Their ambitions, concerns, role-models and regrets are woven together by award-winning Sabrina Mahfo
