Cully and his dad have just moved to a small town. It seems quiet and boring - but Cully quickly discovers it is anything but. Cully and Kat, his cute new neighbour, find themselves caught up in a dangerous game of intrigue, up against people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. A taut, gripping thriller.
A kiwi story that builds to a tension packed finale. The reader is kept guessing as to who Kat is and why she is in danger. A great read for reluctant boys with a straight forward plot and lots of action including guns, motorbikes and a girl who is a mix of vulnerability and then staunchness when faced with danger.
If you enjoy Des Hunt books you will enjoy this, fast paced, likeable main characters and a plot that is believable. Set in New Zealand so kiwi readers will recognise places and appreciate the scenes that are described.
