Siobhan Dowd was one of the most interesting new writers for young adults to emerge in the last few years. Sadly she died in 2007. Set in the Ireland of the 1980s at the time of the Maze hunger strikes, Fergus prepares to leave school and struggles to make sense of his world where tragedy could be just round the corner. Excellent writing, lively characterisation and dialogue, this is a teen novel worth reading.
