Poppys dad is still in prison. Her mother having rushed back to Poland to look after her own seriously ill mother, Poppy is sent to stay with her friend Jude. But Poppy feels stifled. At times like this she needs Angel, the joker among her friends -ù dodgy, wild, cant read or write much, yet bursting with energy and one of lifes natural wits. But Angel, like Poppy, feels a bit orphaned and has joined a gang. During a school holiday, Poppy goes to stay with her friend Will in the country, and she comes back to discover a note from Angel: -ôAt your place. Need help.Gǥ She finds him lying under the kitchen table, bleeding from an arm wound. Has he been stabbed? Why hasnt he called for help? Who else is involved? And will her dad, now in an open prison, find out about her oddball friend? The dramatic follow-up to Poppys Hero features two opposing kinds of London kids, with Poppy straddling the gulf between them as she and her friends are drawn into a strange, unimaginable world.
