Stone Cold

Robert Swindells
(Puffin)
978-0140362510, RRP £5.99, Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Buy "Stone Cold (Puffin Teenage Fiction)" on Amazon

Link is homeless and at risk. Shelter is deranged - an ex-Army sergeant who's determined to clean up London's streets. The story is shot through with horror and suspense and the last chapter is both thrilling and shocking. There's a determination here to present the other side of the homeless story: sympathy is evoked as we live through Link's deprivations - both physical and emotional.

Stone Cold, last year's Carnegie medal winner, would be an excellent library or book box purchase best used with Year 9 and above.
