The police were involved over the trouble. They had to be. I was just playing, I told them, but that wasnt enough. They wanted to know what I understood by intent.Donald Bailey is sixteen. He cant forget the trouble that happened when he was eight, when the police were called. His mother cant forget either and even leaving their home town doesnt help. Then Donald befriends Jake, who is eight years old and terrifyingly vulnerable. As he tries to protect him, Donald fails to see the most obvious danger. And that the trouble might be closer than he thinks...Following Robert Williamss prize-winning debut Luke and Jon, How the Trouble Started is a dark, gripping novel about childhood, morality and the loneliness of children and adults.
