										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Award-winning author Luke Palmer masterfully captures the intricate dynamics of teenage friendship in this compelling tale of misadventure, resentment and reconciliation.</strong></p>
<p>Biggest goes first &#8211; always. That&#8217;s one of the unspoken rules of Kiln, the forbidden wasteland where Sam and his mates hang out. So when Sam comes up with a plan to go sledging on the rust-ridden bonnet of a rotting car, he goes first. To show the others how it&#8217;s done.</p>
<p>His mates aren&#8217;t so keen. But there&#8217;s no complaining. No backing down. Those are the other rules of Kiln. Even when they lead to disaster.</p>
<p>Will their friendship survive the wreckage that follows, or is it time for the rules to be changed?</p>
