Isolation at school, rows at home, spending a night in the cells - Danny's used to that kind of trouble; that's normal. But then he hits on a posh girl at a party, and life at home goes from bad to worse. And after that it's not just normal trouble anymore. And it's not just Danny who's in Danger. SAFE - The Book For Teenagers Who Don't Read - A unique, contemporary and hard-hitting story that is written in accessible language. This novel deals with issues that are relevant to the young people of today, like teenage pregnancy, drug culture, education and parents. It really will capture the interest of any teenager. The 'voice' of the main character, Danny, is one that is rarely heard in literature and it will stay with the reader long after the final page has been read.
How far would you go to belong? Alone, rejected, and living in a kids' home, fifteen year old Mikey will do whatever it takes - even if it means running for a local drug-dealer. But as violent clashes with a rival gang escalate, loyalties get torn apart, and the cost of belonging spirals, what risks will Mikey be prepared to take? How will he live with the desperate and dangerous decisions he is forced into? And ultimately, can he survive the brutality and betrayal that surround him? A hard-hitting account of the alienation, conflict and power that rule the streets, WATERMELON will drag its readers along at a breakneck pace. Follow Mikey's authentic voice and compelling narrative as he leads you through his story, and right into its fatal, nail-biting conclusion.
Two very different backgrounds; two young people who need each other. When teenagers Jay and Anna are thrown together unexpectedly, their secret love ignites. But when his world of neglect and youth crime collides with her parents' high expectations for her education and show-jumping success, that love has to battle to stay alive. Will their deep feelings and desperate sacrifices be enough to keep them together, when everything else is pulling them apart? SOMEONE DIFFERENT is a story of how teenage love struggles to survive when the pressures of parents, prejudice and deprivation get firmly in its way. Set against the contrasting backdrops of an inner-city housing estate and an idyllic country estate, the book takes its readers on a dramatic, compelling and sometimes violent journey, in which the characters' only defence against all of this, is each other.
