Luke Palmer is an award-winning author and poet whose YA novels explore masculinity and friendships against the backdrops of loss, mental health and coercion. 

His latest novel, Big Words, is super-readable, accessible and dyslexia-friendly.

Biggest goes first – always. That’s one of the unspoken rules of Kiln, the forbidden wasteland where Sam and his mates hang out. So when Sam comes up with a plan to go sledging on the rust-ridden bonnet of a rotting car, he goes first. To show the others how it’s done.

His mates aren’t so keen. But there’s no complaining. No backing down. Those are the other rules of Kiln. Even when they lead to disaster.

Will their friendship survive the wreckage that follows, or is it time for the rules to be changed?
