Winner of the Guardian Children Fiction's Prize 2016 Shortlisted
for the YA Book Prize 2017 WELCOME TO CRONGTON, WHERE YOUR LOYALTY
AND WITS WILL BE TESTED ... Living on the South Crongton council
estate has its worries - and life for McKay has been even tougher
since his mum died. His dad has been working all hours to keep the
bailiffs from their door. His brother is always out riding the
streets at night, tempting trouble. And now, having strayed off his
turf on a 'heroic' (if misguided) mission to help out a girl, McKay
finds himself facing a friend's crazy ex-boyfriend, some
power-tripping hood-rats and a notoriously violent gangster with a
vendetta which hits too close to home. Poor McKay. He never asked
for trouble . . . But during one madcap night of adventure and
danger, he will find out who his true friends are, what it means to
stick with your family and that, sometimes, the lessons learned the
hard way are the ones you'll never forget. '... powerful writing by
an author with great talent and great heart.' David Almond
