The Link Boy

by Jonathan Fox

North East England breeds them tough, but sometimes it’s hard for ten year old Joe to keep on top of it all. Looking after a borderline alcoholic mother, constant movement between homes and trying to keep one step ahead of a beating occupy a lot of your time. When a new threat moves into his life Joe finds himself with another lost soul to protect. Armed with only imagination, home-made gadgets and his best friend’s superior skills, a boy is thrust into an adult’s cruel world.
Set against the heart-breaking grind of poverty and violence, a world short of heroes looks for hope.
