What happens when you mix teenage boys, a fight club, and ethnic rivalries? You get war. Romeo Makhlouf knows the rules. Stick with your own kind, respect the family, and don't dob on your friends (or even on your enemies). But rules are made for breaking. When Romeo is beaten up after school, his friends want to get revenge—a dangerous game that traps the teens in an escalating rivalry and propels them all towards tragedy. Fight clubs, first loves, and family ties are pushed to the limit in Helen Chebatte's explosive debut novel about modern-day division and manhood. A contemporary take on The Outsiders for teenagers who love their fiction gritty and real.
