Riassunto

Kicked out of yet another boarding school, Archie couldn't be happier to find himself back in London with old friends and an exciting social life. But he's worried about his cousin Ty, who is facing a sentence in a Young Offender Institution and doesn't seem to be coping. And he's finding that his old friends have moved on and it's a struggle to keep up with their new lives. When he begins to learn surprising things about Ty, Archie goes on a mission to discover the truth about his cousin's past. But who is the real Ty? The thrilling follow-up to When I Was Joe and Almost True takes readers on a terrifying adventure through London's gangland.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'A gritty, terrifying adventure through the ganglands of London.'

(Armadillo)

‘third in a gritty and gripping series about London gangs.’

(The Times)

'tightly written tale.'

(The Independent on Sunday)

'gritty'

(Irish Examiner)

It is a fast moving and dramatic story, excellently written, but not one for the faint-hearted - and I recommend reading the others in the series first.

(Parents in Touch)

'Whether it's writing gritty thrillers like the Joe trilogy or lighter-hearted stuff like Lia's Guide, Keren always gives us thought-provoking novels with brilliantly drawn characters.'
