Ruan, Emma, and Colm are from different worlds despite living in the same city: their schools, houses, and groups of friends mark them as snobs or scobies in each other s eyes. When a terrible accident devastates Ruan s family, he must find a way of coping, with help from Emma. Meanwhile Colm goes on the run from a crime he did not commit. As the three teenagers attempt to deal with their own family crises and study for their final school exams, their lives become intertwined. A keenly perceptive account of Dublin life, "Snobs, Dogs and Scobies" is about social stereotypes, class differences, and teenage friendships. First published in Irish as "Hurlamaboc," the book won a Bisto Merit Award in 2007, a Duais Oireachtais in 2006, and was shortlisted for Irish Book of the Year 2006."
