Take Two publishes on 26th January and we're stressing out!!
But then Elektra (our main character) has got some worrying problems too. She's finally got a big role in a film so dystopian that half the cast and all of the crew wish the world had actually ended.
Here's a sneak peek from Chapter 5:
"I was getting stressy about the 'girl saving the world' thing. Not with the concept that a girl could save the world, although that's ridiculous for a billion reasons, none of which have anything to do with gender. I was more immediately worried about being low on world saving skills. I famously have no combat skills. I can't climb trees or mountains or towers (even towers that aren't on fire as they so often seem to be). There are stairs I struggle with. I can't build a shelter. I struggle to get the duvet cover on. I'd literally woken up at 3 a.m. this morning, panicking because I didn't know how to start a fire with matches and firelighters far less twigs or flints or whatever people who can save the world use. It's my parents' fault for not calling me something like Bear.'
Poor E...
