Synopsis

Little did Malcolm Johnson know, as he boarded the school bus to 'The Metropolitan Academy of Liverpool' for the first time, that his passage from short to long trousers would be such a traumatic one. On that short scheduled service, he was to meet not only 'she who was to become the love of his life' (Róisín, a feisty, flame-haired, girl from the Traveller Encampment) but also his nemesis, Mark Carter (bully extraordinaire). As Malcolm (or Johno, as he prefers to call himself) negotiates his way through his first Term, he encounters much that is new and even more that is positively scary. There would be friendships to forge, subjects to learn that he'd never even heard of before and even new 'bully avoidance strategies' to put into practise. October finds his football career blossoming as he breaks into the B Team (albeit as a result of an outbreak of childhood disease in the ranks) and December, his first entry into the, slightly unreal, world of showbiz, via The Academy's rather rickety 'Talent Contest'. Throughout all these innovations to his new life at Senior School, Johno's thoughts are never far from his red-headed muse and the elusive 'first kiss' he craves. Equally near at hand is the constant threat from those members of the school community who inhabit the darker areas of social interaction. The final act, in a time of great emotional change for young Master Johnson, sees him make a stand against the three psychotic siblings who cause the greatest levels of trouble and fear amongst the inmates of The Academy. As a result of his brave act of defiance, the trio of barbarians leave him clinging to life on a muddy pavement. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Could the young, but profound, love which had evolved between himself and Rosie save him?

Biographie de l'auteur

The author was born into the austere world of 1950's Bootle (just missing out on the delights of post-war rationing). He enjoyed a very happy childhood, living in an extremely un-insulated council house with his parents and sister, surrounded by a very supportive community of neighbours. His education was carried out at Sterrix Lane Primary School, and then Bootle Grammar School for Boys, to a soundtrack of the impeccable music of the 70's. During his periods of Higher Education he accumulated a minimalist wardrobe plus a BEd(Hons), MSc and PhD at Edge Hill College and Liverpool University. A long career as a Secondary School Teacher came to its climax in 2005 (with only a minor set of nervous twitches as a legacy). During the few fleeting moments left unaccounted for whilst maintaining his three highly energy-efficient little children, the author has managed to pen 'this work' and also that ground-breaking, multi-layered, cult classic 'Backpacking with Brian'!
