Dumb Chocolate Eyes
Carnegie Medalist Kevin Brooks crafts a brutally honest tale about adolescent boredom and destructive friendships in this gritty teen drama.
Cassidy is a strange sort of kid, and his house is a strange sort of place. An empty swimming pool, tunnels, trees, broken walls – and rats. When Cassidy decides to trap the rats, things take on an edge of violence that twists two lives apart.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 7.
