Inspired by S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders and by the battles facing young soldierseverywhere, this is a devastating novel about brotherhood and sacrifice, from the award-winning author of Being Billy and Saving Daisy.
Phil Earle was born, raised and schooled in Hull. His first job was
as a care worker in a children's home, an experience that
influenced the ideas behind Being Billy and Saving Daisy. He then
trained as a drama therapist and worked in a therapeutic community
in south London, caring for traumatized and abused adolescents.
After a couple of years in the care sector, Phil chose the more
sedate lifestyle of a bookseller, and now works in children's
publishing. Phil lives in south-east London with his wife and
children, but Hull will always be home.
