I PREDICT A RIOT
Guardian Best Children's Book 2014
I PREDICT A RIOT is the hilarious and heartbreaking tale of three kids from very differnet backgrounds who set out to make a movie and end up involved in a riot. Tokes is trying to make a break from his past, Winnie wants to escape from the present and Little pea - well, he's just out to cause trouble. A story of family, friendships, gangs, riots, new starts and tragic endings - this is a summer that will change all their lives forever.
The novel has been optioned to independent producer Thomasina Gibson.
It has been shortlisted for the Essex Book Awards and the Peters Book of the Year Award and longlisted for the Redbridge Teenage Book Award
Catherine Bruton's stark, inner city suburb provides an uneasy backdrop for this story of three mismatched teenagers whose backgrounds are so different. Tokes' loving mother struggles to support her family, Little Pea ducks and dives around the street gangs and Maggie is living her life behind the lens of a camera, distancing herself from her lonely life - and the events unfolding in front of her. Eventually, Maggie cannot help but be involved as the story accelerates to a dramatic conclusion. The Guardian The Best New Children's Books Summer 2014 Fiction 11+/teen review by Marilyn Brocklehurst
