About this ebook

Jealousy drives Mog to make a terrible mistake in this tragic and gritty tale of betrayal, expertly executed by the Carnegie Medal winning author Anthony McGowan.

Mog might be a loser, but he’s not as much of a loser as Duffy, poster child for victims everywhere. So he's not best pleased when Duffy tries to get in with his best mate.

Mog decides to take action, but when he lands Duffy in the beck, a rancid stream behind the school, he has no idea how far the ripples will spread ...

Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 7. Please note that this book contains mature content (with themes of violence and bullying) and language that some may find offensive.
