Book description
Kevin is determined that he'll never join a gang but his path crosses
the Tribe's when he saves one of them from a rival gang. Invited to take
their initiation test, Kevin plans to break the oath of secrecy and tell
everyone. But he falls under the spell of the gang leader, Salom, and
becomes a member. Kevin then discovers how hard it is to break away from
the Tribe's rules and Salom's power, for when he's challenged Salom
always makes you sorry. In this case he fastens on to Kevin's little
sister, Glory, and Kevin is forced to take the initiation test again as
his sister freezes with horror crossing a beam high above a ruined
building. Catherine MacPhail has written children's fiction, radio
comedy and TV drama. Her first novel, RUN, ZAN, RUN, won the Kathleen
Fidler Award and two Italian prizes, and FIGHTING BACK won a Scottish
Arts Council Book Award. Catherine lives in Renfrewshire.
