Brock by Anthony Mcgowan

Carnegie Medal winning author Anthony McGowan weaves a bleakly poetic tale about one boys determination to save a badger cub from the destructive hands of a local gang.

"McGowan, as one of Britain’s most talented novelists, freights every word with truth and meaning" – The Times

"[Nature] provides a moment of epiphany that resoundsSimply told, yet laced with urgency, this will spellbind" – Philip Womack, Daily Telegraph

"McGowan refuses to compromise on quality, substance, or the emotional challenges that he offers readers" – INIS

"An uncondescending and atmospheric novella" – CBI

"This is a book about raw courage, which can be both heart-breaking and uplifting … The characters in this book are so genuine, I feel as if I know them" – The Bookbag

Anthony McGowan is one of the most widely acclaimed YA and children's authors in the UK, with novels including The Knife that Killed Me and The Dogs of the Deadlands, an FT and Guardian Book of the Year. His Barrington Stoke titles include the Carnegie Medal shortlisted Rook and the 2020 Carnegie Medal winner Lark, which the judges described as "a standalone masterpiece”.
