Kevin Stevens's pacy debut as a writer for young adults is a tense and gritty story of home values threatened by street culture, with the menace of gang violence never far away.

Konrad Bantelmann is no expert when it comes to divorce. But Fridz is all too familiar with it. For some time now Konrad has successfully avoided problems in general and girls in particular, but by a stroke of misfortune he somehow plants in Fridz's mind the idea of seeking revenge on her father's girlfriend, and is dragged into this red-headed girl's crusade of vengeance. And their secret weapon? Nothing other than an extraordinarily large rabbit. Funny, warm, and full of witty observations on family life, this is the story of Fridz and Konrad's madcap schemes and their new-found friendship.

White lies can cover up some of the darkest secrets.

Imagine a boy living alone in a large old house with only a bicycle for company and weekly visits from his great-aunt, who lives mostly on salt-baked dachshund. It's a crazy set-up for a very imaginative adventure story with elements of quirky fantasy.

Meet Madgie M. Cappock, also known as Mad Cap, of the Rent-a-Hero agency - no job too big or small.

O'Neill's powerful new tales of adventure, heroism, treachery, weakness and redemption entwine with ancient Irish folklore as Dark realises that he, like his eccentric uncle Connie, belongs to two very different worlds.
