In September 2011 Turia Pitt a beautiful 25-year-old mining engineer working her dream job in the far north of Western Australia entered an ultra-marathon race that would change her life forever. Trapped by a fire in a gorge in the remote Kimberly region Turia and five other competitors had nowhere to run. Turia escaped with catastrophic burns to 65 per cent of her body. With too little unburned skin left for skin grafts Turia was put in an induced coma in the Burns Unit at Sydney's Concord Hospital while her body fought life-threatening infections and her surgeons imported skin from California.

Ribz's mother sells crack and is sent to prison. Ribz doesn't know who his father is but does know that his father has an unknown number of children all living in Angell Town. Phat Si comes home from school to find his mother gone so he takes to the streets. He's 8 years old.

'From about 10 years old I went by myself robbing people. Crime just got me. It got bigger and bigger until it was like an addiction. When I bought my first pair of trainers myself that's when it became a problem. I see my friends with new trainers and it used to play on my mind and I thought "I know how to get it". So I went out and got it.' Behind the screaming headlines and terrifying statistics on guns gangs and youth crime pouring from estates all over Britain lie the broken lives of these young boys. As they grow up and friends are shot and stabbed around them the boys struggle to find a way out of the chaos. Street Boys is their shocking powerful and important story - and will stay with you.

Tanned pages. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood" writes Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes. "Worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." Welcome then to the pinnacle of the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. Born in Brooklyn in 1930 to recent Irish immigrants Malachy and Angela McCourt Frank grew up in Limerick after his parents returned to Ireland because of poor prospects in America. It turns out that prospects weren't so great back in the old country either--not with Malachy for a father. A chronically unemployed and nearly unemployable alcoholic he appears to be the model on which many of our more insulting cliches about drunken Irish manhood are based. Mix in abject poverty and frequent death and illness and you have all the makings of a truly difficult early life. Fortunately in McCourt's able hands it also has all the makings for a compelling memoir. Quantity Available: 4. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 0002558122. ISBN/EAN: 9780002558129.
