Description
In the corridors of Hamilton College lies a secret. Behind the facade of wealth and power is a world of brutality, where rugby controls lives and boys must learn to be men...even if it kills them. When one student takes a stand, another must decide what really matters. Events of the past avalanche into the present and bring students face to face with the shadows in the mirror.
Author Biography
Cameron Nunn is well qualified to write for teenagers. An English teacher for eighteen years, at the time of writing Shadows in the Mirror (his debut novel) he was head of English at a major school in the outer Sydney suburb of Penrith.
ReviewsA taunt thriller...Nunn is a teacher, and depicts teens well. But on the strength of this book he could easily write adult thrillers. * The Age * Nunn has created a well-written, fast-paced and suspenseful story which, one hopes, will ring true with no child. The book will, doubtless, draw comparisons with Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War. * Viewpoint * This multi-layered story has me hanging on to my seat...an engrossing read. * Magpies *
