synopsis: Cal is very unhappy. He’s only fourteen years old, but he lives in fear. Unable to cope any longer with the secrets at home, he runs away. He finds refuge in a broken-down fishing hut, by the wild shore of his town. Cal feels safer by the sea. Here, he meets a girl, Billie, who has moved to the area following her parents’ separation. Billie is not like any of the other girls in Cal’s life. She’s different, strange. She loves reptiles, she says what she thinks and she won’t let Cal hide behind his secrets. ‘Lizard’s Tale’ is a poignantly tender story, which explores the painful consequences of living with domestic abuse. As well as raising questions about issues surrounding physical and emotional abuse, it also addresses more universal questions about bullying, relationships, families, and the effects of separation and loss on young people |
