Play explores the nuances of male friendships as four boys navigate towards adulthood - when one of them gets drawn into a county lines drugs gang, their childish games take a wrong turn. It's predecessor, Grow, is a critically acclaimed, tense, exciting, contemporary YA story about grief and far-right radicalisation. I am an experienced educator and speaker. My novels draw on my extensive work with young people as an English teacher, with a particular eye on reluctant male readers. My books deal with themes like anger, shame and friendship which I continue in my author talks on the importance of reading and in my engaging and inclusive workshops. I am flexible to your context and can tailor sessions for large and small groups to suit your requirements.
