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
