Malarkey - Keith Gray




Definitions: MALARKEY : (məˈlärkē) n.SL. Bullsh*t...

"...Grabbing the reader by the scruff of the neck... Tough tender and TRUE "


John Malarkey is a 16 years old kid that just moves in town and into Brook High. His mum and him moved into town a while ago and his mum set up a bookshop selling secondhand books.

One day, John was just walking on the school's corridor, when he was beat down and his bag was stolen away from him. He couldn't chase them however his bag showed up on his desk the next class. John was really surprise and was blamed for couple of thefts around school. He needed to prove himself innocent and to get the group called Tailors out of the darkness. The Tailors are the group of students in Brooks High that steal cigarettes, selling singed reports card to students and eventually John was all blamed for all of this. However, he only have 24 hours to do so.

The thing about this book is that the writer had transformed a couple of hours in school to a couple of days whilst you're reading. It is very intense and most of all it's true. It is very realistic and I would recommend this book to everyone and especially to the one that just recently move into a new school. :)
