Opis

A bleakly poetic tale of choice, redemption and courage from award-winning Anthony McGowan. Nicky and Kenny return in Pike as the brothers' fishing expedition takes a turn. Bacon Pond is famous for its monster-sized fish and Kenny is determined to catch one. And as usual, Nicky is dragged along for the ride. But when the boys glimpse what could be a body in the water - the body of a well-known local criminal who's just been announced missing - their choices spark off a chain of events that put their lives in danger. A poignant and powerful sequel to Carnegie longlisted Brock. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+
