«Lucas» is the young adult novel by Kevin Brooks, published by Chicken House Ltd in 2004 (361 pages, in English).

Her relationship with him takes her through a painful transition from adolescence to adulthood, between love and hate. The novel combines young adult romance with mystery and realistic drama, exploring the prejudices of a closed community.
