Part of the Barrington Stoke teen series
See all formats and editions

Tense teen drama with all the hallmarks of a classic Kevin Brooks, in which two brothers take off in a stolen car with a mysterious girl.

A road-movie story shot through with playful hopefulness.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+ For brothers Cole and Ruben it's another rainy morning in the badlands of East London, selling dodgy paperwork for even dodgier motors.

But arriving in a grimy pub on their latest errand, the brothers stumble across a trio of gangsters, a beautiful young girl and a monkey in a cage – and their entire day is knocked off course.

They soon find themselves fleeing in a hot-wired car, girl and chattering monkey in tow, surrounded by police.

Their final destination: Oban, five hundred miles north, where they hope to find sanctuary.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+
