  • Going Too Far

    David Lukens

    language (David Lukens, April 12, 2012)
    You used to be able to walk out of your own front door without having to put up with young kids hanging around the street, skateboarding, taking drugs and giving you lip. So we voted to give the police the right to get tough with these kids. Then one of them died – just a stone’s throw from our front door - and suddenly everything changed. This is the story of how three ordinary teenagers took on the adult world, fighting prejudice, corruption and violence to find out why Craig died. It should be read by all teenagers who think that sometimes they get blamed unfairly and by adults who think they must stop kids from going too far.
