Notes

Summary: Set on the fringes of society, Nate McKee is a vulnerable sixteen-year-old trying to keep himself afloat. With a dangerous father at home and his friend Merrick dragging him into fights on the street, Nate's life is tough. And add to this that Nate has never forgiven his mother for leaving. But Nate is a warrior and a writer and he puts his thoughts to paper in secret at the local youth centre -- a centre that has just been threatened with closure. This is a heart-stopping story about beating the odds. (Publisher)
