Hangman

NEW EDITION !

Toby’s heart sinks when he hears that Danny Lamb is coming to Lindley High School.

Danny will expect Toby to be his friend, and Toby doesn’t want that again.

It was bad enough in the infants. Danny is different – that’s the trouble – though it’s hard to say exactly why.

Being Danny’s friend would destroy his street cred and turn off his other friends.

He doesn’t want to harm Danny. He wouldn’t bully him.

Of course not.

But on a school trip to Normandy, on the D-day beaches where men fought to defeat Fascism, a harmless game goes dreadfully wrong.

Anne Williams, Joint Children’s Services Librarian, Shropshire County Library said,

‘Hangman’ is sensational. The characters and situation are all too believable… What a powerful read!’

‘A powerful and perceptive story’ Mail on Sunday

‘Read this incredible story and take note.’ The Times
