The gun is the coward’s fist. The gun is power.

Alex and Ethan are growing up on an estate where there are just two choices: sport or crime.

Ethan is selected for a football training programme in the US, his chance to escape the gangs that terrorise his neighbourhood. But Alex is drawn into an explosive feud with a gun at its heart.

In this gripping and absorbing real life thriller, Alan Gibbons explores the complex issue of gun crime, and the far reaching consequences it can have.

Isaac, Bolingbroke Academy, Year 8, Books For Keeps
Adventurous, breath-taking and realistic
School Librarian
Fast-moving and tense ... A thriller that provides an insight into street violence while never glamorising it
