The Ultimate Truth (29 page)

‘Why don’t you just put a guard on the changing-room doors?’ I suggested. ‘Two teachers, or two Year 12s, one on each door at all times. Then no one can get
in.’

‘That’s precisely what we’ve been doing. But it hasn’t made any difference.’

‘Stuff ’s still going missing?’

‘Yeah.’

‘How the hell are they getting in?’

‘That’s what we want you to find out.’

Kevin Brooks is the critically acclaimed, prize-winning author of eleven books for young adults. These have been translated into many different languages and published with
great success around the world. He has also written thrillers for adults. The Travis Delaney series is Kevin’s first foray into fiction for younger readers. Having worked in places as diverse
as a zoo and a crematorium, Kevin now writes full-time. He lives in Richmond, Yorkshire, with his wife.
