For ALL AGES—YA and adults—Fanny Berk Strikes Back delivers high-stakes suspense, fierce action, and a powerful emotional journey.

Fifteen-year-old Fanny retreats into silence, shadow, and karate after a violent attack on her family. She trains in secret, keeps a low profile, and avoids everyone. But when she stops a brutal bullying incident, she’s pulled into a dangerous criminal underworld—where justice is risky, truth is slippery, and survival isn’t guaranteed.
