Nourish by Laura Baggaley

Coming soon! Launching 14 July 2026…

Cal lives in a post-food world. People don’t eat. They have Nutritional Provision.

When Cal is enrolled in a fancy boarding school after the death of his father, he discovers a rare edible substance that forces him to question everything he’s been told about nourishment.

Determined to discover more, he joins forces with classmate Andi, heiress to the Nutritional Provision Corporation. But as their investigations lead to trouble and a friend’s life is in danger, will they dare risk everything to expose the truth?

Nourish was longlisted for the Yeovil Literary Prize and the author won Best Book for Teenagers in the 2025 Wishing Shelf Book Awards.

Reviews

“I’d never even stopped to consider that eating fresh, healthy food might become an underground, almost criminal activity in a dystopian future. But such is the power of Laura Baggaley’s ‘Nourish’ that I was utterly convinced that it could happen. All of Laura’s trademark gifts as a storyteller are in evidence here: two heroes you can’t help but be charmed by, a plot which races along, and a resolution that leaves you optimistic that we can actually change things for better. ‘Nourish’ is addictive – in the best way.” Rishi Dastidar, poet
