Review
"Keith Gray is an outstanding writer for teenagers. This is strong stuff, not in any gratuitously sensational way, but because it credits his readers with an understanding of life's big issues - trust, loyalty, courage and survival. - Lindsey Fraser - Scottish Book Trust Keith Gray's exploration of an invisible sub-culture hits you so hard it almost hurts. It has the power and realism to grip the reader and lead you into a dark, underground world of emotional outcasts - Damian Kelleher A brilliant, on-the-edge adventure... Warehouse is gutsy, gripping, dangerous, tender and real. Keith Gray delves into teen life in offbeat ways that no one else thinks of. This is strong, authentic fiction that gets right to the heart of what it feels like to young, now. - Julie Bertagna Warehouse is Keith Gray on finest form, and doing what he does best: giving voices to the underdogs - Chris Wooding In a skilfully-constructed three-part narrative Keith Gray has produced a fast-paced, convincing and moving story. Warehouse deserves the widest readership - Alan Gibbons
Product Description
'I know a place you can go'. It's a secret place hidden among the run down buildings of the derelict dockyards. A community of young people who have gathered in an old warehouse to get away from a world they don't fit in to. Through separate but interweaving narratives, "Warehouse" tells the stories of three of the community's members. There's Robbie who is running away from his violent older brother, Frank, and needs some space to realise that the beatings are not his fault. Amy, who's supposed to be travelling in Europe but has had her rucksack stolen and is too proud to ask her smothering family for help. And then there's Lem, an ex-drug-addict and founder of the Warehouse community, whose perceived role as leader by the other young people is too much for him to cope with.
