In the Bag by Jim Carrington
A pacy thriller for teens that follows in the tradition of Frank Cottrell Boyce's Millions - but with a darker dash of the film Shallow Grave thrown into the mix
Praise for Inside My Head:
‘One of the most thought provoking and compelling books I have read for a long timeMr Carrington obviously knows his stuff, because this book is utterly believable. He tackles bullying in a way that I haven't seen in literature before. And it is so perfectly written that you actually feel the sting of every taunt. There should be a copy of this book in every secondary school library' * Book Zone 4 Boys *
'Wonderfully honest and tremendously tense . . . easy to read but cleverly written - recommended' * Thebookbag.co.uk *
