A knife is a deadly weapon. Paul Varderman knows that. Well, he does now. Paul could be at any normal school - bullies, girls and annoying teachers are just part of life. Unfortunately 'normal' doesn't apply when it comes to the school's most evil bully, Roth, a twisted thug with an agenda quite unlike anyone else. When Paul delivers a message from Roth to the leader of a gang at a nearby school, it fuels a terrible rivalry. Paul attempts to distance himself from the feud, but then Roth hands him a knife... A tense, chilling novel for older children about the terrible consequences of peer pressure and violence. CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND/OR ADULT THEMES.
