Comments: Talks about realisitic, modern issues. It is easy to read and fairly fast-paced. It is definately targeted at male readers and includes some swearing and crass humour, but not to excess. The story is emotional without being sickly sentimental and sugary sweet.
Genre: Realistic Fiction/Hi-lo
Age Level: 13-16
