'Razor sharp, fast moving, and impossible to put down... This is Malcolm Duffy at the top of his game.' Brian Conaghan, author of Treacle TownTwo unlikely worlds collide as prize-winning Malcolm Duffy explores the life-changing repercussions of a single action in a game gone wrong.Sixteen-year-old Rory is a rule-breaker, a risk taker, a maverick. As a kick he comes up with a game called Dead Straight Line. The idea is simple wherever you happen to be, you've got to get home in a dead straight line. Across the back gardens of stranger's houses, locked parks, trespassing on private property whatever it takes.One day, Rory pressures his friend Eliot into playing, resulting in a serious accident. Shunned by friends and facing pressure from his furious parents, Rory becomes even more angry and disruptive. When his school suggests helping out a care home, he's unimpressed. But paired up with Tanker, an eighty-year-old Geordie military veteran, who fought in the Falklands War, things slowly begin to change. From seeking thrills to finding friends, choosing the right path in life is never a dead straight line. But there is always a way.** PRAISE FOR DEAD STRAIGHT LINE **'[An] empathetic, powerful, important novel for young men, one that should not be missed.' Keith Gray, author of Ostrich Boy 'I'm a sucker for a funny narrator dealing with bleak stuff! Laughed loads and cried for two whole chapters.' Patrice Lawrence 'The best YA novel I have read in the past 10 years.' Tom Tolkien, The School Reading List '[A] Compelling novel for today's teens about taking risks, peer pressure and paying for our mistakes.' Tamsin Winter, author of I Dare You

''A story with great heart, and wisdom, which shows the healing power of true friendship'' Ele Fountain, author of Boy 87. Written with humour and heart, Sofa Surfer looks at what it means to be homeless. Malcolm Duffy''s debut novel Me Mam. Me Dad. Me., about domestic violence, won the YA category of the Sheffield Children''s Book Award 2019, the Redbridge Children''s Book Award 2019, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children''s Prize 2019 and selected for World Book Night. 15-year-old Tyler''s teenage angst turns to outright rebellion when his family leave London for a new life in Yorkshire.

Spider is sofa surfing and Tyler finds himself spinning a tangled web of lies in his efforts to help her escape her world of fear and insecurity. Sofa Surfer shows how empathy and action can help those without a home to go to. As with his widely praised debut Me Mam. Me Dad. Me., Malcolm Duffy finds humour and heart even in dire situations. Relevant, warm and rewarding Sofa Surfer is about what happens when going home isn''t an option.
