Treacle Town

Con is stuck in a world of gang violence, vendettas and personal tragedy. The lack of opportunities for him and his gang is all too apparent. He is desperate to get away, to find another life where he can experience happiness and fulfilment. When he stumbles upon the underworld of slam poetry, Con senses a glimmer of hope - a hope that might just lead to his escape from Treacle Town. But it won't be easy. 14+ From the winner of the 2016 Costa Children's Book Award.
