A topical tale about three kids whose friendship comes under strain when they become the victims of a gang of bullies Tom, Mia and Oliver are the victims of a gang of bullies - who waylay them on the way home from school.

But as the pressure builds more and more, a terrible suspicion begins to surface- could one of the three friends be helping the bullies And if so, just who is... the traitor

Reviews

Pete Johnson's skilfully written dialogue takes us into the story on the first page and gives the book a strong sense of immediacy and truth. There is a real menace here, and the accessible story offers food for thought - not easy answers * The Bookseller *
