Carnegie Medalist Kevin Brooks crafts a brutally honest tale about adolescent boredom and destructive friendships in this gritty teen drama.

Cassidy is a strange sort of kid, and his house is a strange sort of place. An empty swimming pool, tunnels, trees, broken walls – and rats. When Cassidy decides to trap the rats, things take on an edge of violence that twists two lives apart.
