Jez Walker lives in care - in Lazarus House, an institution run with ferocious rigour by the terrifying Big Mother and by the bullies - Hodge, Maggot and Spaz - when her back is turned. Jez has no family, a history of crime, a bleak past and what looks like an even bleaker future.

John Singleton is a great storyteller, this book is packed full of imagination and incident. At times despairing and dark, it, however, never loses sight of its central message - hope. I loved this book and read it in a couple of days, I think it would interest teenagers and adults alike. You would do it a great injustice not to give this book a bash. Well recommended.

This is a very good book about bullying. It is extremely thought-provoking and is puffin's book of the month which really makes sense. I do not want to write anything else because I will ruin it, I suggest that you read it yourself. You will find out what is so good about it if you do.
