No Alarms ISBN: 9781877135750 Release: 10-2002 Subject: Young Adult Fiction Format: Paperback RRP: NZ$16.99 Download Resource Kit for teachers |
The story revolves around Sharon, who lives with her mother, Kaz, and brother Zinny. Sharon's in trouble at school, hates her home life and blames the system for her failures. She is in a classic downward spiral and desperate to find a way out. Her escape route is through Justin, who is running a clever burglary scheme with his brother. Convincing him to let her in on the scam, Sharon finds herself in a frightening situation.
The outstanding authenticity of Sharon's life is superbly handled. Sharon is a classic teenager in a classic situation which few NZ writers have been able to explore with such perception.
No Alarms could be life-changing for teenagers exactly like Sharon.
