Play by Luke Palmer

Four boys grow up together at school, itching to get out of their small town. They play games, scoring points from each other, anything to pass the time until they're free. Matthew slips into his imagination, Luc pushes his body to the limit, and Johnny ... well who knows what Johnny's up to. But when Mark starts running errands for his older brother's mysterious associate, he thinks he's found the best game of all.

Boys will be boys but will strive to become so much more in Luke Palmer's wonderfully astute and truthful story. It's the best book of young male friendship I've read in years. Gut-wrenching and glorious. Keith Gray; Profound, poetic, funny, heartbreaking and above all, real - every line, from the lyrical to the punchy, and every character rings with truth. Luke Palmer is up there with Melvyn Burgess, Patrick Ness and Anthony McGowan at showing us the joys, complications and fears of being a boy. Jo Nadin
