Cold Turkey

Former bestmates Kit and Hamza must deliver a cooked turkey across town, but can they tolerate one another for that long? A hilarious caper from bestseller Simon James Green.
Can a TURKEY bring best friends Hamza and Kit back together?
Kit is furious following a betrayal by his oldest friend, Hamza -over a girl?! He wants nothing to do with him until the boys are offered a lot of money to do a job for one of their neighbours.
The job is to deliver a turkey to an address across London before it gets cold. Weird but pretty simple, right? But that's before it turns into a hilarious, hysterical race against time, the police, the bomb squad and a scary street gang.
Can Kit and Hamza make it in time, and will they ever speak to each other again if they do?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 7.
