Red Fox young adult books
3 total works
A humorous collection of character sketches from a town with no soul. Compton Rosehay (aka Stalemate) is not what it seems, and nor are its inhabitants. The book was shortlisted for The Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Beefeater Children's Novel Award.
This collection of seven funny stories for teenagers is told entirely in the form of a dialogue between three friends, Maurice, Nazzer and Nina. Although three of the stories have appeared in print before, Jan Mark has written four new stories which take the friends through the school year of their O-level re-sits. Jan Mark is author of "Thunder and Lightnings" and is the winner of the British Library Association's Carnegie Medal (twice), the "Observer" Teenage Fiction Prize, the Penguin/"Guardian" award, and the Angel Award for her short stories. She has just won the Angel Award a second time for her first adult novel "Zeno Was Here" 1987.
