Steady For This

Meet MC Growls, wannabe rapper and star of the show in this hilarious and heartwarming teen debut. Yeah, they call me Growls, I'm like a tiger on the prowl. King of jungles, so you better take a bow. King of concrete, so you better say it loud!

Shaun (aka MC Growls) is ready to drop his best bars and smash the competition at Raptology, convinced that his crush Tanisha will finally give him a chance. But when a livestream practice goes epically wrong, Growls's dirty laundry is literally exposed. He's achieved his dreams of going viral - just not in the good way. Now Tanisha won't look at him, he's the joke of the school, and there's no way he can show his face at the competition. Will he ever catch a break? A new girl on the block appears, who might be just the friend Growls needs, especially when she points out that Raptology could be the answer to his problems after all. Step up to the mic! It's MC Growls, and he's ready for this. He's steady for this. It's comeback season, and they call him comeback king for a reason.

King of Nothing

Anton and his friends are the kings of Year 9. They're used to ruling the school, and Anton wears the crown. The other kids run away when he's about, but that's the way he wants it - he's got a reputation to live up to. When he gets into serious trouble at school, he doesn't really care, but his mum most definitely does. She decides it's time for Anton to make some new friends and join the Happy Campers, a local activity group. Anton would rather do anything else, especially when he finds out Matthew, the biggest loser in school, is also a member. But after Matthew unexpectedly saves Anton's life, Anton figures maybe this kid is worth a shot. Teaching him some game is the least Anton can do to repay the debt. As the boys strike up an unlikely friendship, Anton questions everything he thought was important. Does he want ruling the school to be his crowning glory, or should he set his sights on better things?

What Happens Online

Existor is the most popular guy in school. Fred is the loser with no friends. And nobody knows they're the same person. Online, Fred goes by Existor@stmarks. His alter ego is the best gamer around - constantly on a winning streak, with tons of followers and the confidence to match. But offline, Fred's life is miserable. His dad's always working, his mum's struggling, and at school, everyone looks straight through him. Until Existor's notoriety spreads to his school, and Fred sees an opportunity: everyone listens to what Existor has to say, so why not use that? Soon, Fred is coming up with outlandish rumors about his classmates, and everyone's lapping it up. His bullies are shunned, and people are finally taking notice of him. But it's a slippery slope, and Fred struggles to keep track of all the stuff he's posted as his lies wreak unexpected havoc. Fred will have to answer for his crimes against reality, but will he ever find someone to like him for who he really is?
