Books published by Graham Downs

Thirteen year old James Clarke is always being picked on in school. He hates sports, and he particularly hates Stingers, a schoolyard game in which children throw tennis balls at each other. The other kids always seem to throw the ball harder, when it's at him. His physical education teacher, Mr Evans, has no sympathy for the boy, believing he just needs to toughen up a bit. When James returns home from school after a rough game of Stingers, his mother is mortified when she sees the bruises on his arm and chest. She phones the school to try and put a stop to the cruel bullying of her son. But her phone call only makes things worse, as the bullying escalates to levels that nobody imagined possible. Stingers was first published in the charity anthology, "I am not Frazzle! And other stories for grown-ups".

Do you believe in Guardian Angels? Have you thanked your Guardian Angel today? I never did... now I wish I had. Now I understand the hard work and difficult situations they face every day. That car that veered off course, the knife that slipped or even the close call when you nearly tumbled from a tree. It wasn't good luck that saved you, it was me. My name is Adam and I'm a guardian angel.

Well done." -Angelique Pacheco
