Respect (Mandasue Heller)

Chantelle has everything going against her. She's a good student who
only wants to pass her exams and find a way out of the sink estate in
Manchester where she grew up. But now her feckless mother has taken off
for Spain with her latest boyfriend and she's single-handedly raising
her tearaway nine-year-old brother Leon.She thinks her worst problem
is the debt collectors at the door. But Leon has made some new friends:
teenage gang members who have given him a mobile phone a knife - and
some drugs to hide in her flat. A part-time job seems to be the
answer to Chantelle's prayers. But the violence is about to come home
to her -with a vengeance. And the only person who's offering any help
seems to be just as bad as the people she's trying to escape from.
