About this listen

Mandasue Heller's new heroine is a 15-year-old Manchester girl who is both brave and determined to do the right thing. But that may not be enough to save her from a lethal cocktail of violence.

Chantelle is a good student who only wants to pass her exams and find a way out of the sink estate in Manchester where she grew up. But with her mother taking off to Spain with her latest boyfriend, Chantelle is single-handedly raising her tearaway nine-year-old brother Leon. She thinks her worst problem is the debt collectors at the door.

But Leon has made some new friends: teenage gang members who have given him a mobile phone, a knife - and some drugs to hide in her flat.

A part-time job seems to be the answer to Chantelle's prayers. But the violence is about to come home to her - with a vengeance. And the only person who's offering any help seems to be just as bad as the people she's trying to escape from....

This book was a bit of a slow burner to start with, but as you stick with it, it does get better.
The characters are good and you can visualise what they look like and how it might be growing up on the estates of Manchester.
The author does this book justice, and the narrator is good creating the characters and bringing them to life.
Quite a good story, one you could see as a TV drama.

A good book once you get into it
