Joe and Ash are best friends. Ash is the leader, Joe the one who follows. Then one night after a party, Joe and Ash come across a holdall, seemingly abandoned by the side of the road. They open it up . . . and find Β£20,000 in cash. Of course they're going to hand it straight to the police. Aren't they? Or is all that money just too tempting? And that is precisely when the trouble starts . . .
Jim Carrington has already established himself as a fine writer for teens with his debut novel, Inside My Head. With In the Bag, he shows how horribly easy it is for two teenage boys to make a car crash of their lives, through an unlucky combination of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and making a handful of wrong decisions.
Review
Praise for Inside My Head:
βOne of the most thought provoking and compelling books I have read for a long time. Mr Carrington obviously knows his stuff, because this book is utterly believable. He tackles bullying in a way that I haven't seen in literature before. And it is so perfectly written that you actually feel the sting of every taunt. There should be a copy of this book in every secondary school library' (Book Zone 4 Boys )
'Wonderfully honest and tremendously tense . . . easy to read but cleverly written - recommended' (Thebookbag.co.uk )
Praise for In the Bag:
βA pacy, tense story that is a page-turner from the very beginning . . . In the Bag is a thoroughly good read and teenagers, especially boys, will love it' (TES magazine )
βTo say this is a page-turner is an understatement . . . This is a journey of discovery, high-octane excitement and eventually pure, living terror' (Flipside magazine )
Book Description
A pacy thriller for teens that follows in the tradition of Frank Cottrell Boyce's Millions - but with a darker dash of the film Shallow Grave thrown into the mix
