Small Fish Big Fish

It began with one moment of weakness.

When a 10 note slips off a shop counter and lands right at Stephen's feet, he thinks it's his lucky day. He decides to head to the fairground and have some fun.

What happens next sends the seventeen-year-old's well-ordered life spinning out of control and he finds himself racing down a dark path, driven by his own naivety and his fear of next-door neighbor, Archie.

Stephen should follow his instincts and do what he knows is right. But where Archie is involved, that's more difficult than it sounds...

Told through the eyes of several characters, Small Fish Big Fish is a powerful coming-of-age novel, a psychological thriller, and a moving story of family and young love.

Adults and older teenagers will enjoy the world building, drama, and suspense offered by this gripping page-turner. PJ McDermott's twist on the traditional coming of age story will keep you reading until the last page.

Paperback and hardcover versions are also available and make a perfect gift for any with a Scottish heritage or those who simply enjoy a good story
