Straight Outta Crongton

*Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize***

WELCOME TO CRONGTON, WHERE YOUR LOYALTY AND WITS WILL BE TESTED 

Round these ends, it’s hard to hold on to your dreams.Life’s a constant hustle for Mo. Her mum’s boyfriend Lloyd is just another man who likes to beat down women; the South Crong streets are fraught with hazards and nasty G’s; and when it comes to matters of the heart . . . she’s still hung up on Sam.No wonder she’s vexed so much of the time.
Thank god her sistrens, Elaine and Naomi, are on her side: if one of them falls then they all fall.

But when badness goes down and a life is left hanging in the balance, Mo has to face her hot urge for revenge . . . and she might end up losing more than she wins.
