Summary Leo knows the value of never grassing; never grass on your friends, for a start. And you certainly don't grass on the gang leaders in town. Unless you have a death wish - like Sharkey. Then Leo witnesses a murder committed by a man called Armour, one of the gang leaders. Soon Armour has an insidious hold not only on Leo, but also his family: a hold that will test Leo's family relationships and his sense of right and wrong. It will take bravery, luck and sheer daring to extricated himself from Armour's deadly web.Review 'Young adult fiction is going from strength to strength, led by authors like Cathy MacPhail' The Bookseller 'Cathy MacPhail's novels are tuned to how teenagers talk and behave' Times Educational Supplement 'Macphail handles her gritty material - particularly the machinations of gangland - with skill, her sense of setting is well sustained and she gives us a novel which satisfyingly blends crime and thriller genres' Books for Keeps 'Gritty and convincing throughout, Grass conveys with chilling accuracy the power of gang leaders over local communities ...
