"Crossing the line" by Gillian Philip. Pupil Review.

I found this book hard to put down. This is because Philip builds tension with her use of short paragraphs, variety of vocabulary and great pace throughout the story. "Crossing the line" shows the dangers of crossing railway lines and carrying knives. It appeals to teenagers who may be experiencing peer pressure to carry knives to school or within a gang. It will make those who are think twice and put down their own weapons.
