Product Description
Product Description
Kevin is determined that he'll never join a gang but his path crosses the Tribe's when he saves one of them from a rival gang. Invited to take their initiation test, Kevin plans to break the oath of secrecy and tell everyone. But he falls under the spell of the gang leader, Salom, and becomes a member. Kevin then discovers how hard it is to break away from the Tribe's rules and Salom's power, for when he's challenged Salom always makes you sorry. In this case he fastens on to Kevin's little sister, Glory, and Kevin is forced to take the initiation test again as his sister freezes with horror crossing a beam high above a ruined building.

I am a teacher and read this book to a class of 9 and 10 year old children, who on the whole have difficulty sitting still for any length of time. Tribes is a brilliantly written book with plenty of cliffhangers to keep children interested - and with a moral element too. A year later, some of them are still talking about the book - especially the boys who really identified with Kevin, the main character.

This is one of the best books i have read, i was reading this book to my son and i enjoyed it along with my son.
Kevin, the main character, thinks he will never join a gang until he saves a person in a gang and is caught up in this situation of being under a spell. This book is a very good read not only for kids but for adults aswell

I downloaded this book for my children aged 10, and they loved it, it was a fantastic story and had them gripped from the first page to the last, they didn't want the story to end. Would definatly recomend this book to anyone with children aged 10+ or young adult. Love Cathy Macphail as an author and my kids have been on at me to order more of her books. Hope you enjoy this book as much as we did.
