by Marilyn Taylor

Green Flag: For readers aged 12+. Young adult fiction

It's back to school and exams for Jackie. Then Bernie is knocked down by a drunken driver, and Jackie has to choose - school and study or staying by her friend's bedside.

When her boyfriend Kev takes the law into his own hands, things get really complicated. Will Jackie and Kev's relationship survive all the trauma? Any why can't Jackie's parents, teachers and friends understand?

Meanwhile, younger brother Philip acquires an unlikely girlfriend. And Andy the Hunk is back on the scene - is he two-timing Deirdre, Jackie's best friend?
