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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tribes, 2 Nov 2002
By KS (Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars one excellent book, 22 April 2002
By A Customer
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
