Break

by Jennifer Lane

When Vinny smells burning in his mate's car, he doesn't know that it will change his life forever. Can he get to the bottom of who tried to kill them, even if it means bringing down one of his closest friends?

Following on from the success of Badger Learning's 'YA Reads', for those who struggle to read, 'Young Adult (YA) Reads II' is for a similar audience. The eight books in the series focus on mature themes, with a variety of real-life and dystopian settings.
