It's 1999. Joel is drifting through suburban Melbourne with no job, no direction and little reason to believe he'll ever amount to much. When he lands an apprenticeship at a smash repair shop, he discovers something he's never had before: pride in his work.
But Hannels Panels runs on more than hard work. Under the influence of a charismatic mentor, Joel is drawn into stealing cars, where every crossed line makes the next one easier. For once, he feels like he belongs - but the choices that earn him respect threaten to take everything away.
Donkey Drop is a coming-of-age novel about friendship, loyalty and the price of belonging.
