{"product_id":"amos-in-three-acts-simon-kitchener-9781521172063","title":"Amos, In Three Acts","description":"This novel, made up of three books, is aimed at perhaps the most reluctant reader group, the middle teenager. It is about a fifteen-year-old boy, Amos, dealing with events surrounding school-life. Amos is a bright, popular, well-adjusted boy who struggles with the pressure placed upon him to conform. This pressure comes from school, his peers and to a lesser degree, his father. The first book is about what Amos and his friends do over the course of a few weeks, culminating in a party where a boy is tragically killed. The language is as close to real as the writer has heard. Some might baulk at the liberal use of the f-word and how fifteen year-olds speak, others may take issue with admitting these boys take drugs, use racist language, have sex and get into fights. These subjects are dealt with matter-of-factly, by the teenagers. The conclusions they derive are quite grown-up.Throughout, Amos and his friends smoke marijuana. This brings them together and breaks them apart. He attends an all-boys grammar school where this indulgence is regarded as errant and dangerous. But this is not why Amos finds himself in trouble. His biggest problem is he is a non-conformist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Kitchener\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1521172064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781521172063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.60d","brand":"Simon Kitchener","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49163704434943,"sku":"9781521172063","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amos-in-three-acts-simon-kitchener-9781521172063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
