Give Me Truth2008

When families break down, it’s a moment of truth. A compelling new young adult novel from the author of the 2006 CBCA Honour Book NO WORRIES.'I'm an ocean cliff. He's erosion. I feel a large part of me crumbling into the sea, yet somehow I don't mind at all.' Caitlin and David have much in common. They're the same age, they go to the same school, they're both in the school play. And each of them is watching their family fall apart. It's a violent situation, but violence isn't always physical, and neither are threats. In their own ways, Caitlin and David are in it together, but separate. And somewhere, somehow, inevitably, it all has to come to a head. With GIVE ME TRUTH, Bill Condon has written another powerful, memorable novel for young people, with characters who stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.
