Friendship And Love John Marsden

Friendship and Love are the glue that keeps the squad together during the tough times that stretch the boundaries that the teenagers have come too accustomed to.
The friends have come to rely on each other to keep themselves sane, to help them continue on this painful path and journey that is ahead of them.

During the book, John Marsden repeatedly hints at the fact that the friends don't want to lose one another and that if they did, they would try and cover up their tracks and all that they have worked for.
