Publisher's Synopsis
RUNNING SCARED is dual-POV showcasing high drama, laugh-out-loud scenarios, morally grey characters and peril between Luke and the Ardwick Barmy Army (ABA). Luke has managed to avoid the Magistrates' Court for several months, a record he's trying to hold onto as his sixteenth birthday approaches. Luke's stepdad is forcing him to steal cigarettes, again. Damian isn't even Luke's worst parent; first place is held by his real dad who is doing a stretch in Strangeways prison. Also, leader of the ABA, Spud, blames him for a recent court appearance, where they are both frequent flyers. In Rowan, Wales, Joey is hassled by Tommo who uses images on instant messaging such as a dandelion for weed and a diamond for crystal meth. Tommo is offering free samples with training on how to use them.
