"Everyone should read Junk." The Times "Melvin Burgess's ground-breaking Junk remains the best book about teenagers and drugs to this day" Julia Eccleshare, Guardian Online "Occasionally a 'teenage novel' comes along which makes one reconsider the whole genre and its potential. Such a book is Melvin Burgess's Junk." -- Robert Dunbar Children's Books in Ireland "Brilliantly and sensitively written, it encompasses the raw, savage and ecstatic world of the adolescent mind... a superbly crafted and important book" TES "Beautifully written" The Times
