Nukkin Yais the sequel to Deadly, Unna?. Fifteen-year-old Gary Black, ''Blacky'', isn''t sure what he wants or where he is going. The one thing he does know is that he wants to escape the small country town he''s grown up in

The Matrafield Under 13s are almost the worst footy team ever. Why doesn''t the coach want them to win? Jimmy, new to the team, finds out why.

''Deadly, unna?'' He was always saying that. All the Nungas did, but Dumby more than any of them. Dumby Red and Blacky don''t have a lot in common. Dumby''s the star of the footy team, he''s got a killer smile and the knack with girls, and he''s a Nunga. Blacky''s a gutless wonder, needs braces, never knows what to say, and he''s white. But they''re friends... and it could be deadly, unna? This gutsy novel, set in a small coastal town in South Australia is a rites-of-passage story about two boys confronting the depth of racism that exists all around them.
