Graffiti on the Fence

'Go home, you adolescent rabble! It must be past your bedtime!' 
'Aw shut up, you old bat!' Hellz shouts. 
'Yeah, we'll go home when we feel like it,' Tan yells. 

Hellz, Tan and Eddie are the local skateboarding trio. Every night after school they hang out together, terrorising 'the Witch'. that's what they call elderly Lallie. They make their own rules, and give cheek to anyone who gets in their way. 

But Lallie gives as good as she gets, and when Hellz unexpectedly finds himself in her garden one day, he soon learns that there is more to Lallie than he thought ...

A powerful and moving story about friendship and big decisions.

"Magpies"

This book is powerful in content and execution.  The language is strong and contemporary, without being over the top.
