'Do you feel safe?' A powerful novel exploring how teenagers can be
swept up into county lines. For fans of PUNCHING THE AIR and
SPLINTERS OF SUNSHINE. Erik's mum is juggling the challenge of two
small babies, plus the recent death of her husband due to COVID-19.
Both these factors affect teenage Erik too, struggling with
homework as the babies continually cry or his mum needs help. When
the difficulties at home affect Erik's behaviour at school and he
gets in with the wrong crowd, Erik is tempted to earn some easy
money. . . But this kind of money is never truly easy to earn and
comes with a terrible cost. Written in verse, the
thoroughly-researched narrative exploring how teenage boys can be
drawn into county lines pulls the reader in from the very first
page, as Erik makes some good - and some very bad - decisions...
