"Klättrarna är en gripande, överraskande berättelse om konkurrens, självkännedom, vänskap, och ju mer man tittar, desto djupare framstår den ..." Patrick Ness
"Intrigen handlar om trädklättring men innehåller så mycket mer /.../ Grays njutbara språk ger Sully en trovärdig berättarröst och besjälar naturen. Det är angenäm och fängslande läsning". (Betyg 5 av 5) BTJ, 4:2024
Det finns ingen som är så skicklig på att klättra i träd som Sully. Han kan ta sig uppför de förvridna grenarna på både Korkskruven och Dubbelstammen hur enkelt som helst. Men när en nyinflyttad kille, Nottingham, plötsligt dyker upp och får alla att häpna över hans klättrarförmåga, känner Sully att hans position är hotad.
Det finns bara ett sätt att bevisa vem som är bäst - att bli den första som lyckas klättra uppför ett livsfarligt träd som ingen hittills lyckats nå toppen på. Och Sully är beredd på att göra nästan vad som helst för att vinna ...
En lättläst, tätt sammanvävd berättelse om vänskap och svek på farligt hög höjd, av författaren till DET VAR DU! och MONSTER.
Riktar sig till såväl läsovilliga ungdomar som den läsare som söker en snabbläst bladvändare. Keith Gray har en förmåga att skriva kort och spännande utan att tappa i vare sig djup eller innehåll, ofta thrillers med hög spänningsnivå.

Brook High is a great grey concrete ants' nest of a school. John Malarkey is the new kid, thrown in at the deep end of Year 11. He's the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through what at first appears to be a random meeting, he helps a girl called Mary Chase out of a tricky situation, but is subsequently accused of stealing report cards to sell to students so they can write their own bogus reports. He quickly realises it was all a set-up, and that he's been used to take the fall. The teacher who accuses him of the crime gives him one day to prove his innocence. Malarkey tries to track down Mary Chase, but it's difficult in such a huge place. He does, however, discover strange goings-on beneath the surface of the normal school day. The more questions he asks the deeper he becomes involved in the corrupt under-belly of the school. He's also noticed the peculiar fact that so many kids at Brook wear Adidas trainers - black with the three white stripes. He realises that these are the badge of membership worn by those involved in the school's 'mafia'. He discovers that the name of the organisation's leader is Freddie Cloth, and Mary Chase turns out to be Cloth's girlfriend. Malarkey is soon noticed for asking so many questions, and receives warnings and then threats to back down. But, with time quickly running out for him, he still has to prove his innocence. And the only way to do this is to get to Freddie Cloth.

Derwent Drive was known as the Speed Creep. A continual chain of Dashes into Blind. We'd all heard the story about the Creeper who dropped Blind into a garden, only to discover he was standing in a dog pound. It was also the longest creep; twenty-five houses all in a row, no bends, no kinks. And no Creeper had ever done the lot. But Jamie and I reckoned we could do it. Jamie was the best Creeper around. He was the best Buddie you could have. And he was mine. Ever heard about 'creeping' before? Probably not. Nobody really talks about it. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It does. Creeping over back fences all the way down a street without getting caught; without being hurt. It happens more than you might think. It's probably happening somewhere tonight.

In 1699 William Milmullen took his six pupils to the lakeside but only he returned after a creature rose up from the water and devoured the six boys right before his eyes. The whole town was shocked and terrified by the tragedy. Many were now too frightened to go out on the lake to fish, and the town's economy was under threat. William Milmullen recovered from the shock of what he'd seen. He named the creature 'The Mourn', and declared himself 'Mourner'. He took upon himself the responsibility to appease the creature by feeding livestock into the lake and vowed his family would forever be responsible for the safety of the town, and that every Milmullen son would take the mantle of Mourner at the age of 16. This novel is set in the present day, and nobody believes in monsters anymore. These days the town is somewhat embarrassed about its monster stories and to many the Milmullen family is a bit of a joke. The family, however, have held onto their duty, believing that if they forsake the creature it will rise from the lake again. Tim Milmullen turns 16 in a week's time. On his birthday he will become the 13th Mourner. But Tim doesn't know if he wants the role. For one thing all the kids at school tease him, calling his father crazy, saying Old William back in 1699 killed the schoolboys himself and made up the story. And Tim's biggest problem is that he doesn't know if he believes in the legend or not. How can he dedicate his whole life to something he has never seen?
