A gritty and realistic novel about life in an inner-city comprehensive, by an award winning author. Set in an inner-city comprehensive, Tough Luck explores the trials and tribulations of life for pupils and teachers. Centring on three Year 9* pupils -- all loners for different reasons. Nasim -- newly arrived from Pakistan; Twagger -- the school truant who only turns up for a hot school dinner and Sprat who wants love and attention, not money and gifts, from his single-parent father. Their 'right-on' and understanding teacher, Mr Bead, together with the rest of his class all play their part in making this a thought-provoking and gripping novel, which will be painfully real to many readers. * updated from Year 3 in the original novel.
