Alan Gibbons Pack x 5 Award-winning author Pack by Alan Gibbons (author)

Tough reads that burn harder than a skateboard crash on gravel. Show your scars with pride: these hard-hitters are practically a rite of passage. Aidan’s dad is a gangland drug dealer, out to regain his scrap of turf. Danny lives in fear of his mum’s violent ex. Kate’s best friend was bullied to suicide, and she needs someone to blame. And what about the Afghan refugee looking for a place to hide? Some people say these books are too tough for teens. We say: get real and face facts. This is exactly how some teens live each day. Captured in brave, brutal writing that’ll bruise your soul.
