Linda Strachan

Spider

From acclaimed children’s writer Linda Strachan comes a brutal and provocative novel about teenage love, loyalty and joyriding.

Fifteen-year-old Spider is on his last warning. If he’s caught joyriding one more time, he’ll be sent down. He’s trying to stick to the straight and narrow but girlfriend Deanna and mate Andy think he should risk it for one last run. They take a car and tear off on a frantic, adrenaline fuelled race that changes everything – for all three of them — forever.

By turns vicious and funny, SPIDER is a compelling and harrowing ride into the cheap thrills and high costs of car crime.
