Noodle Head

A junior 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' for our age - a gripping tale of one boy's fight against medication and incarceration.

Marcus King - Noodle Head to his friends - is coming to the end of his six-month stint at the Dovedale Home for Young Offenders. He's settled down, he's taking his meds, and he's made some pretty good friends amongst all the wild and difficult boys at the home. Ratso, Shelly and Ravi are a pretty odd gang but they do stick together. But everything goes wrong during Hare and Hounds - a torturous and cruel chase game the boys are forced to play. Jimmy's back in trouble again.

Now he's stuck at Dovedale for another stint - and who knows when they'll let him out now? A day out with their favourite teacher, Miss Wonderland sends Jimmy's situation spiralling even lower - now only a drastic solution will do . . .
