Synopsis
Isolation at school, rows at home, spending a night in the cells - Danny's used to that kind of trouble; that's normal. But then he hits on a posh girl at a party, and life at home goes from bad to worse. And after that it's not just normal trouble anymore. And it's not just Danny who's in Danger. SAFE - The Book For Teenagers Who Don't Read - A unique, contemporary and hard-hitting story that is written in accessible language. This novel deals with issues that are relevant to the young people of today, like teenage pregnancy, drug culture, education and parents. It really will capture the interest of any teenager. The 'voice' of the main character, Danny, is one that is rarely heard in literature and it will stay with the reader long after the final page has been read.

From the Publisher
Schools and colleges are now buying class sets of SAFE and incorporating it into their curriculum. The novel is proving to be extremely effective in engaging reluctant readers.
From the Author
I have been an English teacher in South Yorkshire for the last ten years and I have worked with hundreds of kids during this time. Initially, I wrote SAFE to inform a wider audience about how some kids live and the inequality that exists in the opportunities that are available to some young people. As it developed however, it became clear that the story, as well as the style of language and layout was extremely successful in engaging reluctant readers. So then I had another motivation - to engage teenagers who don't usually read in fiction.
Since it's publication, SAFE has generated lots of interest and it is well on its way to achieving both of these aspirations - which of course, I'm delighted about.
Kate Hanney, April 2009
