They Saw Too Much
Autor Alan Gibbonsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 mar 2018 – vârsta până la 16 ani
Sixteen-year-old John has moved away from the tough inner-city neighbourhood he grew up in and started afresh. Ceri James is the guarded girl from the children's home who has captivated his attention. But when their lives are thrown together, it's not in the way John had hoped. They witness a man die.
Not only are they eye-witnesses of the fatal shooting, but John caught the whole thing on camera - and the culprits know it. Now, John and Ceri must run for their lives in a deadly, heart-stopping chase that leads them in dark and ever more dangerous directions.
So why does John refuse to call the police? As secrets are revealed and loyalties doubted, John and Ceri's world hinges on one question - when it's a matter of life or death, who can you really trust?

Recenzii
Some books can change the world for the better - this is one of them. All young people should be advised to read it.
This novel will take you to the edge of your comfort zone and beyond - a compelling, powerful read.
Alan Gibbons has written a compelling novel of courage and conscience amidst the terrors of our time.
Wonderfully fast paced, thrilling ... as good as it gets in British teen fiction ... Authentic and unflinching, it is a novel you have to read.
Very few authors would have the expertise to so beautifully capture such difficult emotions without making the novel an explicit one.
A GUNSHOT.
A PHOTO.
A MURDER.
John is trying had to stay out of trouble and leave his past behind him, but he can't help being drawn to Ceri James - the guarded girl who has secrets of her own. Then their lives are thrown together, though not in the way John had hoped.
They witness a man being shot - capturing the murder on camera - and now the ruthless killers are hunting them down. Scared and panicked, John avoids Ceri's questions: why won't he call the police? How does he know the killer?
Because only one question really matters: who can you trust when you're running for your life?
