Treacle Town

Shortlisted for the Children's Books Ireland Awards Con ONeill is stuck in a world of brutal gang violence, sectarian vendettas and personal tragedy.

Connor is desperate to get away, to find another life where he can experience happiness and fulfilment. When he stumbles upon the new world of slam poetry, Con senses a glimmer of hope - a hope that might just lead to his escape from Treacle Town. But it wont be easy. See more
