Thrill Seekers (Paperback)

The Oxley Creek Boys are thrill seekers; young, invincible and willing to risk everything to feel alive. Drink, drugs, sex - it's all theirs for the taking. But things change. Brian's dad is dead and his little brother Douggie has started hearing voices. When the thrill is gone, is there nowhere left to go, no direction home? Set in Brisbane, and told as a series of skilfully linked short first-person narratives, this fast-moving and gripping story deals with teenage issues and tough topics. Reader Reviews "The Thrill Seekers was touching. It was deep. It was mature and it was poignant. It had a very good and meaningful plot. I would be interested in reading other books in the series." - Faith Mutyiri, Holy Road High "A lot of teenagers will be able to relate to the issues in this book, such as losing a family member and addiction. It is a gritty read but the events and bad language are all realistic. The fact that it is bleak and depressing makes it more effective and highlights it's message - drink and drugs are not to be treated lightly." - Michael Ferguson, St Thomas of Aquin's High, Teen Reads "I usually read to escape from reality, but I admire the author for tackling issues like crime, poverty and drugs. The book cover is really striking - it is almost like it has special effects." - Breagh Shaw, St Thomas of Aquin's High, Teen Reads
