Now the girl who has never left the city walls must fight to survive in a living nightmare, where one false turn with who to trust means a certain dead end. To conceal his presence Rok adopts the identity of the first person he encounters - bad boy footballer Kyle Dixon - and as Dixon he develops an unexpected but all-consuming love for 'the beautiful game'. Dodging the police, joy riding and extreme partying - if Connor's dying, he might as well enjoy one last wild adventure.

Sure he's crushing on his best "girl friend," Emma, and he has daily run-ins with the school bully, Skeates. With unlikely ally Skeates, he sets off on one last wild adventure -- a crazy tour across Scotland dodging the police, joy riding and looking for answers.

I liked the characters Connor and Skeates, and enjoyed the evolution of their relationship which was really sweet. Forming an unlikely friendship with fellow juvenile delinquent Skeates, the pair stage a break out and set off on a crazy tour across Scotland to find Connor’s dad, an inmate at Shotts prison. If you need an author to have specialist skills, experience or knowledge beyond their creative work, please ask for more information about this ahead of booking them for an event. He decides to investigate his island home and accepts an ancient challenge: he who jumps the Bonnie Laddie's Leap wins a fortune.

I particularly enjoy books with quirky characters that make me laugh, and this one certainly does not disappoint. Winner of the Scottish Teenage Book Prize 2019 Longlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2018 Quick-witted, sharp-tongued Connor Lambert won't take it any longer: the bullying, the secrets, the sympathy. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there? Although it was a good book, it took me way longer to read it than usual because I found myself wanting to read other books before it.Any number of people had reason to assault Harry Bains but his seventeen year old step son Lorn McGregor is the one in custody, and he needs to get out. This is completely made up for by the ending though which was unexpected and ties Connor and Skeates together in a really interesting way . Anyway to sun up I thought this was a really heartwarming book and while I don’t think it was particularly deep this isn’t a bad thing at all.
