Use Beyond’s KS3 English Literature resources to teach students about Stone Cold by Robert Swindells. Unbeknownst to Link, it is Shelter, who uses the excuse of a missing cat to lure Link into a building. Anyway i think you should read it and find out if there is murder in it because i swear there was and we never actually finished this so i wouldn't remeber anyway.

To punish him for the relationship, Gray sent the Triple Six team to kill him and make it look like a suicide. Then we started to learn more about Shelter and his evil mind, i felt that i was more interested in what happened with him then Link and the others. First, Link's rejection of the (likely left-leaning) investigative journalist who is, in fact, out there to help him and raise awarenessof youth homelessness. Most of us can’t relate to the characters as we are not homeless but they did a very good job of portraying the way that homeless people are thought of in society and how they are treated. He’s been driven to this desperate quest for vengeance by his elderly mother Lesya, who appears to be suffering from dementia, but is actually in hiding in her nursing home as we learn when we witness her speaking perfectly coherent Russian to her son.Stone Cold' certainly didn't read like a book destined for the children's literature classification because the message it imparts is universal and anyone of any age can stand to learn a thing or two from its pages but I'm glad young generations have this story to learn from and emphasise with. Swindells' book is relatively rote in its portrayal of life on the streets as a homeless youth, with coverage of the majority of expected themes: society, family, poverty, death, friendship, causes and dangers of homelessness. The story is told in alternating chapters, one by Link and the next by an ex-military mass murderer who preys on the homeless. The social services workers have little compassion for Link’s plight and blame him for making himself homeless. Vince gets drunk and rambles about Link’s laziness, how he’s taking his sister’s money and how he’s spoiling everyone’s Christmas.
