SJ Baker introduces her new dystopian novel, Calm, a disturbingly possible world in which the people - and their emotions - are controlled by the state. 


In this enthralling dystopian YA thriller, where emotions become weapons, the fight for humanity's true essence takes centre stage. 


Read an extract from Calm.

More about Calm (Neem Tree Press):  In a near-future Britain, society's calm facade conceals a sinister truth: the state maintains its control by meddling with the nation's water supply. The result? A population lulled into apathy. Lulled, apart from a courageous few known as the Resistors.


New Resistor Owyn joins lifelong Resistor Tiegan in a fierce quest for freedom. Spurred on by the promise of a mass Resistance, they ignite a chain of events that shakes the foundations of Britain's oppressive regime.  One thing is clear: the price of freedom is higher than they ever imagined.
