A business intelligence report library with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including peer comparisons to other libraries. Sixteen-year-old Marlon has made his mum a promise – he’ll never follow his big brother, Andre, down the wrong path. So far, it’s been easy, but when a date ends in tragedy, Marlon finds himself hunted. They’re after the mysterious Mr Orange, and they’re going to use Marlon to get to him. Marlon’s out of choices – can he become the person he never wanted to be, to protect everyone he loves? Every Pet needs to eat to relinquish their Hunger, which increases by 0.03% every second (maximum hunger reached in 3333 seconds or roughly 1 hour). At 30% Hunger, Pets become hungry and the Hunger icon will appear above their head to notify the crew that they need feeding. The player can feed them by dropping an appropriate food item on the ground and the tamed Creature will approach and consume it immediately. It stops requiring food when Hunger is below 30%. Blurb says: Not cool enough, not clever enough, not street enough for anyone to notice me. I was the kid people looked straight through.

But when a date ends in tragedy, Marlon finds himself hunted. Now he must become the person he never wanted to be to protect everyone he loves. This novel fell flat. It began with such urgency - throwing me straight into a great mystery-esque set up that I couldn't wait to follow. But then Patrice Lawrence did the unforgivable and just threw the mystery out the window. I'm frustrated.

Plotting and pacing: This is a strong aspect of the novel. It’s a pacey read, with plenty going on in poor Marlon’s life. There’s the whole ‘Mr Orange’ mystery, but there’s also plenty of conflict and mess in his family life too. I enjoyed the thread about his Dad, and the way this was linked in through music – I think that’s a key way a lot of people relate through the generations, which isn’t always noted, so it was nice to see it brought out here. Want to create your own segments? Use Savannah's query functions (customer and activity filters) to target a "sliver"(our technical term for a portion or a slice of a cluster) or use geographic, demographic or usage filters to make your own. What a book! Such a gripping, gritty storyline, with such wonderful, believable characters. Loved it.” Tanya Landman, author of Buffalo Soldier

Orangeboy Review Orangeboy Review

I was gripped by Orangeboy from start to finish, and spent much of the latter stages of the book trying to work out how the hell Marlon was going to come out of the story in one piece. His journey is both uncomfortable and uplifting, as he struggles against what seem to be insurmountable odds. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap... As a Savannah client, you'll be part of our network of library users who share successes with each other. But perhaps subconsciously I was waiting for a similar emotion as when I was reading the Noughts and Crosses series. Which had me hooked all through until the final book. I think that had I not seen M.B's quote on the front cover of the book I would of had a different experience reading it. So, as I said, I feel my subconscious was waiting for something deeper, more twists and turns. In 2023, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
