Product description

A taut, thrilling quick read by star author Kevin Brooks. Get to the good bits faster. For brothers Cole and Ruben it’s another rainy morning in the badlands of East London, selling dodgy paperwork for even dodgier motors. But when they run into a trio of gangsters in a grimy pub, their whole day is knocked off course. Now they’re fleeing in a hot-wired car, chased by the police – with a beautiful girl and a monkey in the back! This nutty thriller is great for any teen, but it has extra help for people who find reading tough. Tell all your friends (especially the dyslexic ones) about it!

  • A tense and witty chase tale where danger meets laughter
  • By the author of Carnegie winner The Bunker Diaries
  • A fully rounded story told in a simple quick-read style
  • Built-in dyslexia support and help for struggling readers

Interest age: Teen. Reading age: 8.

Author/Illustrator

Kevin Brooks

Kevin Brooks, author of the young adult novels Martyn Pig, Lucas, Kissing the Rain, Candy, and The Road of The Dead, was born in 1959 and grew up in Exeter, Devon. After school, he moved to London and tried to become a rock star. The book he would most like to have written is Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. His most precious memory is of sitting on a wall when he was ten years old, wondering where thoughts go when you die. He decided that they float up into space and become fuel for the sun. His advice for aspiring authors? ‘Read as much as you can, and write what you want to write, not what you think other people want you to write. And don’t give up.’
