English Summary/英文概要： Explosive, emotional drama, perfect for fans of Meg Rosoff
Welcome to Coronation Road—a kaleidoscope of clashing cultures and parallel lives. There’s Maggie and her politician mother in their big house. There’s Tokes and his mom in a tiny bedsit, running from trouble. And there’s the ruthless Starfish gang, breeding fear through the neighborhood. Amateur film-maker Maggie prefers to watch life through the lens of her camera. In Tokes, she finds a great subject for her new film. And when violence erupts, led by the Starfish gang, Maggie has the perfect backdrop. But as the world explodes around her, Maggie can’t hide behind the lens anymore.

About the Author/作者介绍： 凯瑟琳•布鲁顿出生在英国西北部，她先参加了当地的综合学校，后获取了牛津大学英国文学学士学位。
在凯瑟琳20几岁的时候，她曾在纳米比亚和南非的街道学校教学，并照顾乡镇中的流浪儿。她后又在伦敦和英国一些顶级学校教学，同时还为《泰晤士报》和其他知名全国性杂质和报纸撰文。
凯瑟琳的第一部青少年小说《我们能成为英雄》出版于2011年。被《星期天日报》评价为“充满智慧，无比吸引人”，并成为了2011年的畅销书，获得多项殊荣，包括卡内基奖，并有望搬上大银幕。
凯瑟琳接下去又写作了《枪击声》，她也因此被《卫报》评价为近年来最佳青少年小说家。她的第四本小说《我预言了一场暴乱》灵感得源于英国暴乱，小说通过描写三个截然不同的年轻人试图改变他们所生活的世界，反应了城市的紧张与暴力。——《书目》
现在凯瑟琳一边在当地初中教学，一边继续写作事业。她和丈夫和两个孩子现居于巴斯乡间。
Catherine Bruton was born in the North West, where she attended the local comprehensive before graduating with a first class degree in English Literature from Oxford.
In her twenties, she worked in Namibia and South Africa, teaching in bush schools and working with street children in the townships. Catherine then went on to teach at some of the top schools in London and the UK, as well as writing feature articles for ‘The Times’ and various other national magazines and newspapers.
Catherine’s first novel for young people ‘We Can be Heroes’ was published in 2011. Described by The Sunday Times as, “Witty, wise and compelling,” and named as one of their top books of 2011, it was short and long-listed for numerous awards, including the Carnegie, and is currently being adapted for the big screen.
Her follow up ‘Pop!’ lead The Guardian to describe her as, “One of the finest teen writers of recent years,” whilst her forthcoming book ‘I Predict a Riot’ which was inspired by the UK riots, ’vividly illustrates the tensions and violence of city life from the perspective of three very different young people trying to make sense of the world they live in,’ (The Bookseller)
Nowadays Catherine combines teaching English at a local secondary school with writing novels and raising a family. She lives with her husband and their two children in the countryside just outside Bath.
