Description

In this classic novel of childhood, Des Dillon takes us through a day in the lives of two best friends, Derek and Gal. Set against the Coatbridge landscape of slagpits and steelworks, they encounter the whole range of life's challenges in a brief twenty-four hours. Des Dillon has created a fresh, sharp and hugely entertaining story of an innocence that is all too short lived and vulnerable.
