About this listen

Everyone deserves to feel safe.

It’s 1984. Superpowers for girls and women exist only on TV and in comics.

Aileen Murphy struggles to make sense of her life in a working-class Scottish steel town. She dreams of escaping the sectarian bullying she has kept secret; then, the gorgeous Steve Henderson enters her world.

When her vulnerable younger sister becomes the next target of the bullies, Aileen knows she must make a stand. Will Steve’s proposition to secretly teach Aileen her own ‘superpower’ save her and her sister? And can Aileen find the courage to fight for her dreams – to feel safe – and to be accepted for who she is?

Real Gone Kid is the feel-good, first novel in the adult, coming-of-age, Raven Craig series, set in 1980s industrial Scotland.

Great Audio book. I gave it 5* as I just couldn't stop listening! Found myself really feeling for the characters and what they were going through. The soft Scottish accent was easy for us none Scots to understand while also helping bring the characters to life.

Great easy listening

I found Kate Fridriks ‘real gone kid’ from the narrator Keira Lucchesi, I enjoyed listening to Keira read all of Sophia Gravia books that I searched to see what else she has read, and came across this author and book. I finished the audio within 2 days, so good and so well written. Can’t wait to see what else comes from Kates releases. Highly recommended if you enjoy Scottish 80/90s themed books and written/narrated so well. ❤️

A nice story, learning about Eileen’s life. There’s sadness, the toughest of times, teen angst and then to watch the characters progression, was quite heartwarming! 🥹
