'The Lost Boy in the Maze' by Joseph Coelho

This story is about two boys,

separated by centuries,

parted by myth,

divided by reality.

Two boys hoping to be men.

Two boys severed from their fathers.

Two boys searching a maze of

manhood.

'Crossing the Line' by Tia Fisher

Eric’s world is changing. Fast.

Life at home hasn’t been the same ever since Dad died.

Getting good grades and following school rules stop feeling important when you’re the new man of the house.

When his bad behaviour catches the attention of a local gang, Erik is pulled into a terrifying world of trap houses, drug dealing and violence.

At first, it’s easy money - but Erik soon learns that a small favour can become a huge debt.

When his little sisters’ lives are threatened, can he cross one more line to save them?
