The Cave

A group of teenagers from an inner city academy set off for an adventure holiday in the Pennine Hills. Two days later tragedy strikes. Deep below the ground the six survivors struggle to stay alive until help arrives. The stories they tell about themselves will change their lives forever. In so many ways a coming of age/rite of passage novel, The Cave explores themes that affect the lives of young people in the modern multicultural city. A book for adults too. Think Plato's Cave, The Canterbury Tales, and a far more hopeful Lord of The Flies. The first Crossover novel for teens,young adults and adults alike by the Award winning author of The DCI Tom Caton Manchester Crime Novels. Winner of the ePublishing Consortium Writers Award 2011, for The Cleansing.
