Fallout

Can Marcus escape the future his parents expect him to have? Or is his fate decided by his family?

A totally gripping read for readers of 10 and over, from the winner of the Wales Children's Book of the Year Award 2023.

You can't choose your family… If you could, Marcus would never have opted to be a Pritchard. With one brother locked up and the other one working with their dad on plans for their next big robbery, they are well-known in their tightknit Welsh community, for all the wrong reasons. When a mysterious act of sabotage lands an old man in hospital, it's no surprise that Marcus gets the blame .Marcus feels trapped. It's as if everyone around him already knows who he is, before he's had a chance to find out for himself. But new girl Emma is different – and not just because she is a peace protester. She wants to get to know him. Is Marcus destined to follow in his father's footsteps or, with Emma's help, can he find a way to trust and be trusted?

An exciting and moving story about questioning your loyalties, from the acclaimed author of The Valley of Lost Secrets. Brilliantly evoking both terrifying tension and simple summer pleasures, this is perfect for readers of 10+ who love Phil Earle, Frank Cottrell-Boyce or Brian Conaghan.
