About the Collection

Steady For This follows Shaun, also known as MC Growls, an aspiring rapper determined to impress his crush and succeed at a rap competition. When a livestream goes badly wrong, Shaun becomes the subject of unwanted attention and must find a way to rebuild his confidence and face the consequences. The novel combines humour and heart while exploring confidence, friendship and finding your own strength.

King of Nothing follows Anton Charles, a teenager whose reputation at school is built around intimidation and popularity. When his mother takes away his internet access and sends him to a local activity group, Anton is forced to spend time with people outside his usual circle. His experiences challenge his ideas about status, friendship and what it really means to be strong.

What Happens Online follows Fred, whose online gaming alter ego becomes more popular than his real-life identity. When he begins using his online influence to spread rumours about classmates, his digital actions quickly create real-world consequences. The story explores online identity, responsibility, reputation and the effects of social media behaviour.
