As a kick he comes up with a game called Dead Straight Line. The idea is simple – wherever you happen to be, you’ve got to get home in a dead straight line. Across the back gardens of stranger’s houses, locked parks, trespassing on private property – whatever it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day, Rory pressures his friend Eliot into playing, resulting in a serious accident. Shunned by friends and facing pressure from his furious parents, Rory becomes even more angry and disruptive. When his school suggests helping out a care home, he’s unimpressed. But paired up with Tanker, an eighty-year-old Geordie military veteran, who fought in the Falklands War, things slowly begin to change. From seeking thrills to finding friends, choosing the right path in life is never a dead straight line. But there is always a way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duffy, Malcolm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56548446798210,"sku":"9781035919277","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781035919277.jpg?v=1775908813","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/9781035919277","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
