Making Trouble


Fifteen-year-old Topher Mackenzie has a complicated life. His Mum is in Australia, his Dad is struggling to look after him, and Auntie Charlie is the only person who understands. When his girlfriend is forced to leave the UK after a racist attack, Topher faces a choice: accept the government’s lies, or find a way to fight back.


The Battle Ground series is set in a dystopian near-future UK, after Brexit and Scottish independence. 'Making Trouble' is a stand-alone prequel, which can be read at any point in the series.
