Produktbeschreibung

"When Kenny and Nicky spot a glint of gold in the murky waters of Bacon Pond, they can't leave it alone. It means money, and money helps patch things up when you haven't got any. But sometimes it's better not to look too deep. Not when there are local gangsters involved, and tough questions about your own family's past. But Nicky can't help looking back. He knows it's a bad idea, and it could ruin everything. Can he save himself and his family, or will the secrets of the lake take them all down?"--

Rezensionen

"McGowan writes in prose as spare and effective as that of Barry Hines ... there's an extraordinary depth and elegance to this story. An outstanding novel" - LoveReading4Kids

"A gut-wrenching tale of crime and punishment makes [Pike] compelling reading" - New Statesman

"Dazzlingly true to life, a succinct yet satisfying read" - INIS

"McGowan ... manages to transform a relatively simple storyline into a gripping tale with a fresh outlook and edgy twist" - Reading Zone

"This story is an object lesson in the art of compression. In only 128 pages it touches on natural history, sibling relationships, living with mental disability, split families, fear of outsiders, dealing with bullies and coping with guilt" - Books For Keeps
