A powerful story about risk, consequences and finding a way forward
Sixteen-year-old Rory loves taking risks, and the dangerous game he invents (getting home in a perfectly straight line, no matter the obstacles) quickly becomes a thrill for his friends. But when one reckless decision leads to a devastating accident, Rory’s life begins to unravel. As friendships fracture and guilt threatens to consume him, an unexpected connection with an elderly war veteran forces Rory to confront the impact of his actions and rethink the path he’s on. Raw, gripping and deeply thought-provoking, Dead Straight Line is a compelling YA novel about responsibility and second chances for readers aged 12+.
