About this Book

Pay up on Monday or else!

What would you do if a gang of bullies decided to waylay you on your way home from school, demanding money? Would you pay up? That’s what Tom, Mia and Oliver do -- at first. Ashamed of being victims, united in their fear of the gang, they feel powerless to do anything else. But as the pressure builds, a terrible suspicion begins to surface: could one of the three friends be helping the bullies? And if so, just who is the traitor?

A perceptive and highly credible tale of bullying and friendship from award-winning author Pete Johnson, author of The Ghost Dog, Rescuing Dad and many other titles.
