This story is an energetic romp through a dog's busy day on a farm. Russ, the sheepdog, herds sheep and cows and plots against Tigger, the farm cat.

16-year-old Lucas Swain becomes intrigued by the urn of ashes left in a cab office. Convinced that its occupant - Violet Park - is communicating with him, he contrives to gain possession of the urn, little realising that his quest will take him on a voyage of self-discovery and identity.

Darren ist 16 und sexy, aber schüchtern, ein hervorragender Schwimmer, in der Schule sonst eher mittelmäßig. Besonders beim neuen Englischlehrer Tracy hat er Probleme.

Damit setzen sie ein tödliches Spiel in Gang und Darren gerät in eine tiefe Krise.
