Why Not Read...
Dancing in the Dark
'a compelling, deeply affecting read. Prendergast has captured such an authentic teenage girl’s voice ... Certainly one of the best Irish teen novels I’ve read this year and bang on the zeitgeist.'
Sarah Webb, Author of the Amy Green books

Al is nearly sixteen - a very dangerous age according to Mrs Capsella and the other mothers. Known to Al and his friends as the Watchdogs, they stalk the suburbs, ever alert to the perils of parties and other suspect activities. It's a very trying situation for Al, whose life is already complicated by the unwelcome attentions of Sophie Disher, and a father whose interest in homework borders on the unhealthy.
What's a guy to do???
Wacky sequel to the popular Heroic Life of Al Capsella
