What is The Tulip Touch about?
When Natalie moves into the Palace Hotel, she becomes fascinated by Tulip, a strange and charismatic girl from a troubled home. Tulip’s wild stories and cruel games seem thrilling at first, drawing Natalie into pranks that grow increasingly disturbing. As Tulip’s behaviour becomes more dangerous, Natalie begins to question their friendship and her own choices. With tension building towards a devastating fire, this powerful novel explores manipulation, responsibility, abuse and the frightening influence one child can have on another.
