Synopsis
The summer before Jack Klements begins high school, his life is disrupted by a visit from his Irish cousin Finn, a 'problem child' sent from Dublin after being expelled from school. Obsessed with the violent computer game Gang Feud 3, Finn has trouble distinguishing between games and reality, and soon becomes involved with a Latino gang in Seattle's inner city. Unwillingly drawn into this world, Jack falls in love with Karina, a Puerto Rican girl who hangs around with the gang. But in a dangerous sequence when Finn is kidnapped and held to ransom, it falls to Jack to rescue him. Family tensions rise as Jack feels himself squeezed between the demands of his straight-laced parents and the pressure to be loyal to his wayward cousin. A pacy debut into young adult fiction, This Ain't No Video Game, Kid! touches on themes of cultural difference and inner-city problems whilst painting a gritty portrait of the differences between haves and have-nots in the city of Seattle.

À propos de l?auteur
Kevin Stevens has written grown-up books about bank robbers and jazz musicians but he also likes to write books for kids and teens. He helped the superheroes at Little Island create the Nightmare Club books for younger children (get spooked for free at www.thenightmareclub.com) and then went on to write his own books for children: The Powers and its companion book Pucker Power. (Check out www.readthepowers.com for free hilarity from the Powers family.) Pucker is his favourite character, even though he weed on Kevin’s leg once, thinking it was a lamp-post. His first book for teenagers was This Ain’t No Video Game, Kid! and his next book is A Love Supreme, for older teens. Both from Little Island, of course.
