Set in a Northern town where right-wingers are determined to stir up hatred & racial prejudice CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE is about six teenagers whose lives are woven together by a series of shocking & tragic events. A British Muslim brother & sister two Irish brothers who take different sides & two lads out looking for trouble: all of them get caught in the crossfire. Inspired by the Oldham riots & the events of September 11th this is a book that needed to be written. It is a chilling account of what is happening in Britain today but as always Alan Gibbons writes with humour & understanding & is utterly on the wavelength of his many readers.
