I want him, Terry thinks. I want The Boy. Terry is a Mod. The Boy is something altogether more profoundly disturbing. He is not insane but there is a deeper terror in his relationship with the schoolgirl who is sure she can look after herself.

DAILY EXPRESS . . . 'precocious teenage world of pep-pills, parties and punch-ups, all vividly and waspishly observed'

SUNDY TELEGRAPH . . . 'as hip a description of the teenage scene as has appeared for some time'

SPECTATOR . . . ' a splendid piece of documentary writing'

EVENING STANDARD . . . ' Miss Gaskell's style is crisp, concise and lively, the dialogue waspish and with-it, the observationb of teenage morals and manners rings authentic'
