Barrington Stoke: Anthony McGowan Pair Award-winning author Pack by Anthony McGowan (author)

A startling voice in recent teen fiction, the author of Henry Tumour works his magic for Barrington Stoke. Combining hard-hitting themes with easy-read text and a clear layout, these short novels are ideal for dyslexic, struggling and reluctant readers. Brock is the bleakly poetic tale of a boy who tries to save a badger cub from the destructive hands of a local gang. The Fall returns to the topical theme of gang violence to tell a dark story of bullying and its repercussions.
