Summary

Award-winning author Luke Palmer masterfully captures the intricate dynamics of teenage friendship in this compelling tale of misadventure, resentment and reconciliation.

Rules of Kiln

Biggest goes first - always. That's one of the unspoken rules of Kiln, the forbidden wasteland where Sam and his mates hang out. So when Sam comes up with a plan to go sledging on the rust-ridden bonnet of a rotting car, he goes first. To show the others how it's done.

His mates aren't so keen. But there's no complaining. No backing down. Those are the other rules of Kiln. Even when they lead to disaster.

Questions

Will their friendship survive the wreckage that follows, or is it time for the rules to be changed?
