by Avi Luxenburg (Author)

"Taut, tense, and emotionally charged... A stunner." The Prairie Book Review

Grit. Heart. Unforgettable suspense.

Fifteen-year-old Fanny Berk just wants to disappear. After a violent attack tears her family apart, she retreats into silence, shadows, and relentless karate training... her armor against a world she no longer trusts. Staying invisible seems like the only way to stay safe.

But one moment of unplanned heroism changes everything. When she steps in to stop a brutal act of bullying, she's pulled into a dangerous criminal underworld where truth is slippery, justice is risky, and survival isn't guaranteed.

As threats escalate and the stakes turn deadly, Fanny must decide what kind of fighter she really wants to be. She'll confront lies, danger, and impossible choices... but she's not as alone as she thinks. A misfit group of classmates, and one fiercely loyal rescue dog, are ready to stand by her side, no matter what.

Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and The Karate Kid, this cross-generational crime thriller blends raw emotion, sharp humor, and relentless suspense. You'll find shocking twists, real-world themes of bullying and healing, and a heroine whose quiet toughness leaves a lasting mark.

Lose yourself in FANNY BERK STRIKES BACK, a powerful story of resilience, loyalty, and finding light in the darkest places.
