DOPED UP AND LOCKED UP — OR FREE?
Marcus King — Noodle Head to his friends — is coming to the end of his six-month stint at the Dovedale Home for Young Offenders. He»s settled down and he»s taking his meds — even if they do dull his senses and leave him unable to think straight. Still, the staff seem to think that»s what an overactive, excitable boy needs — just a good dose of Kalmasol.
He»s even managed to make some pretty good friends amongst all the wild and difficult boys at the home. Ratso, Shelly and Ravi are a pretty odd gang but they do stick together. But everything goes wrong during Hare and Hounds — a torturous and cruel chase game the boys are forced to play. Marcus is back in trouble again. Now he»s stuck at Dovedale for another stint — and who knows when they»ll let him out now? A day out with their favourite teacher, Miss Wonderland sends Marcus»s situation spiralling even lower — now only a drastic solution will do…
