My Dad is Definitely Not a Crime Lord – Ben Davis -Another laugh-out loud success!

Description

Damian’s new friend wants him to be a hero. But what does that really mean? Damian’s family are living under witness protection now that his dad, a once powerful gangster, has turned King’s evidence. They’ve been moved to a cramped flat in a run-down council estate, and they’ve all had to take on new names.

Then Damian – sorry, Finn – meets costumed superhero Star Kid, who wants Finn to join his mission to keep the estate safe from criminals. Soon Finn is forced to ask himself: who is he, really?

A funny, heartfelt novel about friendship and family – and where the limits are for both.

PRAISE FOR MY DAD IS DEFINITELY NOT A CRIME LORD “In a novel filled with heart and humour, told in the first person, Damian discovers what it means to be a hero.

There is a depth to the story which explores themes of masculinity, family and self-awareness with a light touch.” – Just Imagine “Such fun and great read. I read this book in under a day and even skipped playing Uno with my friends so that i could finish reading the book.” – E. Nelligan, age 6
