Review by Sarah

A great premise and another riveting and suspense-filled novel by Tristan Bancks. A fantastic opening scene at the petrol station has you on the edge of your seat right from the start! There’s a touch of menace when Nash’s Dad is being dealt with by the baddies he owes money too. The tension builds throughout this book as Nash is forced to deal with some tough situations and choices, through no fault of his own. He also has to face the reality that both of his parents have flaws, despite their love for him. The way his school principal deals with him, and helps him see a way through his bad circumstances is gold. It made the book for me without ever feeling trite or staged. My eleven-year-old loved this too. A great read.
