Carnegie Medal winner Keith Brooks returns with a poetic, darkly humorous and thoughtfully observed teen drama about disaffected youth and rebellion. When Dean first appears at school, Jack knows right away that there's something different about him.The two form a fast bond and dream of starting a band together, but underneath all the usual teenage posturing of drinking, drugs and rebellion against authority, there's a darker side to Dean that needs more – more wildness, more violence. Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 8.
