A STUDENT with "an amazing future" has released her first book at just 15 years old.

Kay Tyler, a year 11 student at Plume Academy in Maldon, has published her first short book on Amazon and has received high praise from her teachers.

The blurb reads: "£7 is the story about a young girl who is tired of living society’s norms and runs away to explore her mind and the world.

"It is written from her perspective as she documents her story on her phone, in the story we see the way society is making her think and how her ​experience's change or modify it."

The tale already has a five star rating on the online shop.

One of the reviews says: "Amazing book, makes you really feel something, felt like I was the character.

"You feel so committed once you start reading and you can’t stop until you finish it, so good when you read while listening to music. 

"10/10 loved it so much can’t wait for a hard copy to come out."

A spokesman for Plume Academy said: "Having read the story, I cannot recommend it more for others to read.

"Kay has an amazing future as an author and we here at the Academy wish her the best of luck and look forward to seeing more from this very talented student.
