1970s Toxteth, and 9-year-old Sparra is running out of places to play. It's no fun at home, what with her Mam and Dad snapping at each other and Auntie Mo dishing the dirt. Along her street prowl mortal enemies Uffo and Lippo, mad Harold and his skinny wife and psycho-killer Stabber. So Sparra and Debbie make a bombed-out house on Piggy Monk Square their own special hideaway. When a policeman with a bad case of snuffles disturbs their games, he warns them to keep out. Two Scouse girls, they know better than to trust him. But suddenly he's at their mercy and they're pitched into trouble deeper than they could ever imagine.

Evans ‘Hey, I’m really grateful for these exercises. They help so much. I really find ideas flowing to me when I start one. Thanks.’ John L 'I’m just getting back into writing and these exercises are a great way to write without any attachment to the outcome. I love the freedom of the exercise.' Kathleen G 'The exercise was great because… it kind of opened the way for me to do scenes that in themselves hint to feelings or states of mind, without necessarily have to speak explicitly about them in words. And the flow was great, and the answers so diverse. The questions made me realize that in me there is so much I can write about and so much that I know… Many thanks for that!' Layaly L. 'I’m just getting back into writing and these exercises are a great way to write without any attachment to the outcome. I love the freedom of the exercise. Just to write for ten minutes and see what happens. 'I have been going through the exercises with a writing buddy. We decide which one we both want to tackle and then time ourselves. It’s great to read the results to each other and see how the same questions can inspire wildly differing stories. We are having a blast! Thanks!' Kathleen R.
