- Synopsis
- When fourteen-year-old Tar runs away from home, he thinks he's found the perfect life. He's got his girlfriend, Gemma, a place in an abandoned building to live, and new people to meet. And when Gemma and her friends invite him to take his first hit of smack, he thinks things will only get better. Smack slowly changes everything, but not for the better. Tar begins to steal, Gemma grows more and more distant, and no one seems to know how to find anything but the next hit. It all starts to fall apart. Winner of the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Prize for fiction, Smack is a timely and penetrating novel about the ecstasies and horrors of heroin use.
