{"product_id":"9781854249630","title":"Stories from the Edge","description":"Stories hold a group's attention like nothing else. These true stories are instructive, inspiring, arresting and shocking. They are distilled from those who have lived for years on the frontier of youth culture: some are drawn from Dave's own background (he spent years on probation for drug dealing, vandalism and burglary), or from his experience as a youth and community worker. Some come from other youth workers. The stories are highly arresting, detailing a dramatic incident in a young person's life, such as a 16-year-old on probation, who is on suicide watch; mediating between a rebellious youngster and his too-strict dad; a 21-year-old girl, with two children in care, who works the street to pay for the heroin her father deals. Each chapter follows a particular theme, such as 'Dads and Lads' or 'Youth Culture and Gangs'. Each chapter ends with points to think about and discuss.","brand":"Monarch Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057102602480,"sku":"9781854249630","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781854249630_p0.jpg?v=1763597920","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781854249630","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
