Описание книги

Kendall Mullins hates high school as much as life at home, but that all changes when Craig Baumgarten joins his class. Craig makes school almost bearable, until bullies set their sights on the new best friends and Craig hatches a plan to fight back, with devastating consequences. As Kendall is drawn in deeper he finds himself in a situation he can’t escape from and it is up to his brother Justin to protect him. The Mullins brothers flee the suburbs in an attempt to outrun the law and the wrath of their father, but on the streets of Cape Town they find that life can get even tougher. S.A. Partridge is the author of the critically acclaimed The Goblet Club, which won the I am a Writer competition in 2007 and the M.E.R Youth Prize in 2008. This, her second novel, was shortlisted for the Percy Fitzpatrick Prize in 2010. For her third book Dark Poppy’s Demise she won the M.E.R Youth Prize in 2012. Her fourth book Sharp Edges has just been published (2013). Visit her blog at http://sapartridge.book.co.za

Отрывок из книги

“I’m such a wimp,” he whispered to himself.

He entered through the double doors into the familiar corridors as if in a dream. Nameless students taunted him as he passed. Someone would shove him hard with their shoulder; another would throw an empty water bottle. He never looked up to see who his assailant was. It didn’t matter anyway. It was always a circus in the mornings, and the teachers were always conveniently absent. The sound of the bell ringing turned the jumble into a rush as students began migrating down the dull pink passages from every entrance and doorway. They reminded him of sheep being herded into pens.
