YAOrca Soundings series.
Bex is an "urban explorer." He gets into abandoned buildings and places, takes pictures, and gets out. When new-to-school Kieran convinces Bex to push his personal limits and moral boundaries with the promise of money, adrenaline-inducing events occur. Tight, concise writing, along with a fast-moving plot, makes this a good choice for struggling and reluctant readers.
