Description
Glasgow is a city with a reputation for violence, where gangs and knife culture are a harsh reality. In the housing schemes of Lanarkshire, Scotland's former industrial heartland, young people are drawn into a world of postcode warriors and brutal gang conflicts. Azzy Williams joins the Young Team, a group of friends bound together by loyalty and a desire for a better life. As they navigate the streets of Glasgow, they face a world of anxiety, addiction, and violence. But Azzy dreams of a different future, and must confront the toughest fight of all - the fight for a way out. This energetic novel, inspired by the author's own experiences, offers a powerful story about the realities of life for young people in Britain today. With its poetic and powerful prose, it shines a light on the tabloid stereotypes and tells a story that is both shocking and brilliant.
