Kids Rule OK! Rules!
I have to say Kids Rule was a really guilty pleasure for me. I had never read it before and I found it to be utterly gripping. A sort of working class Lord of the Flies. No wonder Action! was banned. Phew!

Kids Rule OK! Rules!
Fantastic story! Didn't see it first time around, but completely enthralled by it as a thirty-something! The Action book by Martin Baker is well worth getting hold of to find out how that story actually was going to end up.
The published version was very much a cop-out!
(What a pun!) The original version was going to be so much grittier, but I think that from reading the book, it was going to peter out and go out with a fizzle rather than a bang! 
So much better for us to have the ending left in the air, so that our imaginations could dream up an appropriate ending.
