Lucas

Written by Kevin Brooks

Narrated by Stina Nielsen

Caitlin's life changes from the moment she sees Lucas walking across the causeway one hot summer's day. He is the strangest, most beautiful boy she has ever seen - and when she meets him, her world comes alive. But to others, he quickly becomes an object of jealousy, prejudice and hatred. Caitlin tries to make sense of the injustice that lurks at every unexpected twist and turn, until she realises that she must do what she knows in her heart is right.

Kevin Brooks was born in Exeter and studied in Birmingham and London. He had varied jobs in a crematorium, a zoo, a garage and a post office, before he secured his first book deal for Martyn Pig, a black comedy about a 15-year-old who decides not to tell the authorities when his alcoholic father dies accidentally. Martyn Pig was shortlisted for a 2002 Carnegie Medal, won the 2003 Branford Boase Award, and set the tone for the dark subject matter of Kevin's novels.
