Klaus Vogel and the Bad Lads - by David Almond
with illustrations by Vladimir Stankovic
They call themselves the Bad Lads, but it’s all mischief; no real trouble. Until it is. And then German refugee Klaus arrives, and makes a stand.
The debut Barrington Stoke novel from the Carnegie Medallist, David Almond, concerns issues of intolerance and freeing yourself from bad influences. Klaus Vogel is a German refugee who moves to a small English town in the aftermath of WWII. He is taken under the wing of the local gang, but their increasingly hateful pranks cause him to question their actions.
