'Young adult fiction is going from strength to strength, led by authors like Cathy MacPhail' The Bookseller 'Cathy MacPhail's novels are tuned to how teenagers talk and behave' Times Educational Supplement 'Macphail handles her gritty material - particularly the machinations of gangland - with skill, her sense of setting is well sustained and she gives us a novel which satisfyingly blends crime and thriller genres' Books for Keeps 'Gritty and convincing throughout, Grass conveys with chilling accuracy the power of gang leaders over local communities ... This is a book with real bite and an uplifting ending' The Bookseller
Product Description
Leo knows the value of never grassing: never grass on your best friends, for starters. Everybody, too, knows the gang leaders in town. And you don’t grass on them. Not unless you don’t value your life—like Sharkey.

Book Review, May 10 2011
By Elisabeth Wernig - Published on Amazon.com
What is this book about?
Leo and his friend Sean do everything for each other and they have no secrets, but this situation changes,
when Leo witnesses the murder of one of the gang leaders in town. Leo can't talk to anybody, because if he does, Amour, the gang leader and murderer will kill him. At first, Leo is very afraid, but Armour helps Leo's father to get a job, scares off the Bissett Boys, who always beat up Leo, and makes Leo feel that at least Armour trusts him. Leo passes messages between Amour and Nelis, another gang leader, for a deal. Armour says, he wants peace in the town and with this deal, there will be some. But in fact, Armour wants to be the only gang leader in the town. Can Leo stop Armour's bad plan? And will he get Armour and Nelis into prison?
What do I think of it?
I think, the book is very gripping, because there are some things, which you don't expect. Cathy Macphail writes about Leo's inner struggles very well and she also describes the different situations in the book brilliantly.
I really like the book and when you are a fan of crimes and hard life, you should read this book.
