Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There is no surer way to gain kudos at school than being a successful creeper. To creep you have to avoid being snared or being called a "nambie" or "greenie", and above all you have to adhere to the creeper's code--never do it without a buddie. Jamie is the hero's buddie and a great creeper. Together they have attempted Derwent Drive- -the "speed creep", which is the toughest one in the village, a continual blur of dashing for cover, evading security lights and, finally, in No.50 five alsatian guard dogs. Only one creeper had previously made the distance--Carl, our hero's, big brother. On their first attempt Jamie got snared. Had he not been caught by Mr Doberman, then our hero would not have met his daughter, Ruth and felt the first stirrings of passion. Life, however, is like a creep--just when you think you've made it, you get snared.
A hugely enjoyable read by a powerful young writer; Gray was only 21 when he wrote this story, which deservedly reached the Guardian Award shortlist. This is an impressive debut, an original and highly compelling story about courage, conviction, friendship and loss that is both exciting and moving. An excellent read for any young teenager. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Read Creepers!
5 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
Creepers is a wierd book because the kids in this book climb over fences and run through peoples backyards. They like to Creep on Derwent Drive, because it is the hardest, it has 50 houses. And they sometimes get bitten by the dogs, step in a garden, or get cut by barb-wire. The only bad thing about this book is that they curse a lot.
