Pike

McGowan, Anthony/ Gnosspelius, Staffan

A stunning companion piece to Brock from award-winning Anthony McGowan. Nicky and Kenny return in Pike as a fishing expedition nosedives into near tragedy.

The Bacon Pond is famous for its monster-sized fish and Kenny is determined to catch one. And as usual, Nicky is dragged along for the ride. But when the boys glimpse what could be a body in the water – the body of a well-known local criminal who’s just been announced missing – the secrets of the Bacon Pond might just take them all down. Sometimes it’s better not to look too deep.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 11+
