Tadpole

by Marita Towns, Kyle Towns

Tadpole (Drama/YA) tells the story of Danny and Alisha, two damaged teenagers from dysfunctional homes who set out to find a new life, alone, outside of society. Touring a countryside of small towns and cheap hotels, vibrant cities and all manner of strange and psychopathic characters, Tadpole is a road trip for the mind, and a haven for those who, like Danny and Alisha, feel isolated and disconnected.

Tadpole is a dark adventure you won't forget. A violent, romantic road trip of two against the world.

Warning: This story was written for and dedicated to those who, like Danny and Alisha, don't have the best start in life and may have suffered serious abuse. I believe that these matters are best placed in the open, and spoken about, because it is only under ignorance and denial that the abuse of human rights can flourish. As a result, I do not recommend this novel to those who come from a sheltered background, absolutely do not recommend it for those under the age of 15, and suggest caution to those sensitive to triggering. For those of you still in the game, I hope this story speaks to you.
