Divided City

A gripping and powerful story of two boys from rival backgrounds, for fans of The Hate U Give and The Upper World.

Glasgow is a divided city. Catholics and Protestants; Celtic and Rangers. Stumble down the wrong street at night, and you might not find your way home again.

Joe and Graham should never have become friends, but football brings them together. They don't want to get involved in the conflict and rivalry. They just want to talk, play, live and breathe the beautiful game.

But the Orange Walks are beginning - the annual marches that bring the city's tensions to the surface. And Joe and Graham have to decide where their loyalties lie.

A powerful, gripping story about friendship, prejudice and tolerance from multi-award-winning author Theresa Breslin.

'An outstanding writer . . . Superb' Independent

Theresa Breslin: I set out to walk the footsteps of the soldiers of the Great War

Personally struck by the conflict of World War One, Breslin was inspired to write Remembrance. Her research provided a poignant insight into the lives of those on the front line and those at home.
