The Jigsaw Lady is an old woman who lives in an old house in Langham's Park. She lives alone, doesn't speak to anyone and everyone in school says she's a witch.
Ricky and Davey decide that Billy should properly become part of their gang, by performing an initiation – to go to the Jigsaw Lady's house that night with them. Will the school boys' actions prove fatal and have they underestimated the lure of the Jigsaw Lady?
Tony Lee joins the Teen Reads family with a powerful, dark tale of peer pressure and gang culture that readers will be able to associate with. To find out more about Tony, including what inspired him to write for reluctant readers, head over to his author page here.
The word count of 4,500-6,000 gives the versatility of being a quick read for some students and a more challenging read for others while the reading age of 7-8 years and interest age of 12-15 years ensures that it is accessible for reluctant readers.
