Summary
'It was the day the clocks went back. That's when I decided to kill him.'
Humorous and heartbreaking debut novel with the fresh, funny, honest voice of a 14-year-old Geordie lad recounting the trials and tribulations of family life and finding first love.
Danny's mam has a new boyfriend. Initially, all is good – Callum seems nice enough, and Danny can't deny he's got a cool set up; big house, fast car, massive TV, and Mam seems to really like him.
But cracks begin to show, and they're not the sort that can be easily repaired. As Danny witnesses Mam suffer and Callum spiral out of control he goes in search of his dad. The Dad he's never met. Set in Newcastle and Edinburgh, this supremely enjoyable coming-of-age drama tackles domestic violence head on, but finds humour and hope in the most unlikely of places.

Critic reviews
'A powerful story of filial love when domestic violence gets in the way. An unforgettable central character and a truthful ending.' (Jill Murphy, The Bookbag)
'I really loved Danny, I loved his Geordie voice, I loved his endearing relationship with his girlfriend Amy. Although this is a story that deals with domestic violence there are some moments that are really funny in it... A heavy topic dealt with a relatively light touch which is really important.' (Karen Gregory, Down the Rabbit Hole)
