Devil's Angel
An intensely poetic and utterly compelling teen drama about disaffected youth, rebellion and teenage attachment. From 2014 Carnegie Medal winner Kevin Brooks. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+
A darkly humorous and brilliantly observed teen drama about the intensity of teenage friendships and disaffected youth. 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 struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+
