coming of age story about a group of disaffected teens who turn to
crime in order to get the things they want. But can they handle the
consequences? Extremely relevant when read in the light of the recent UK
riots...
Trick is fifteen and growing up in a dead-end Devon
town. Because of how he looks, Trick stands out, attracting unwanted
attention.
More than usually subject to peer pressure, he wins
approval from his tough gang of friends by spotting an opportunity for a
robbery at a local supermarket. But he never thought they’d go through
with it. When they do Trick finds he can’t back out and has to take part
in the crime.
Even though they escape with more money than
they’d anticipated, it is a botched job and cataclysmic events unfold.
Will Trick’s wit and quick thinking find a way out for him and his
friends, or are they all doomed?
While all of this is unfolding,
Kelly Jenkins, the girl Trick has been in love with since he was seven
years old, is planning her escape from Devon. If he doesn’t tell her how
he feels now he risks losing her forever…
A gritty, fast-paced
story full of suspense and intrigue, Trick is ultimately about
friendship, growing up and what it’s like to fall in love for the very
first time.
