Description
David Starr's life is turned upside down when he's cast as Nancy in the school production of Oliver!. But David is ready for the challenge. Living with his colourful relatives in a three-bedroom semi, he's bright, smart-mouthed and passionate about pop music. As rehearsals begin, David forms an unlikely friendship with Maxie Boswell, captain of the school football team. Their bond deepens, but so do the challenges they face - from bullies to social pressures. With the support of his teacher, Hamish McClarnon, and his best friend, Frances Bassey, David takes on the world, one step at a time. This vibrant coming-of-age novel is set against the backdrop of 1970s South-East London, where music and love are at the forefront of everything. With its warm and lively tone, it's a story that will transport you back to your own first music obsession and the highs and lows of first love.
