''There was this time when everything seemed to have come together. And so obviously it was time to go and screw it all up.''
Sam is sixteen and a skater. Just so there are no terrible misunderstandings: skating = skateboarding. There''s no ice. Life is ticking along nicely for Sam; his Mum''s got rid of her rubbish boyfriend, he''s thinking about college and he''s met someone. Alicia.
Then a little accident happens. One with big consequences for someone just finding his way in life. Sam can''t run (let alone skate) away from this one. He''s a boy facing a man''s problems and the question is - has he got what it takes to confront them?
Slam is a novel about a boy who has to grow up in big, big hurry. It is The Catcher in the Rye for the 21st century.
