Description

Billy Driscoll and his best mate, Peter 'Rooksy' Rooker, have the run of their street in 1963. As they navigate the challenges of growing up, they find themselves drawn to two girls: Sarah Richards, Billy's pretty neighbour, and Josie, her shy friend. But with local heartthrob Kenneth 'Kirk' Douglas also vying for Sarah's attention, something drastic must be done if Billy is to get his girl. A day out with Sarah and Josie seems like the perfect summer outing, but it will prove to be a day of declarations and revelations; of secrets and terrifying encounters. This powerful and poignant debut novel from Barry Walsh explores the complexities of adolescence and the enduring power of friendship. With its authentic voice and evocative portrayal of 1960s London, The Pimlico Kid is an engaging and absorbing read that will stay with you long after the final page has been turned.
