My Dad Is Definitely Not a Crime Lord

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 Queen'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.

Ben Davis' new book, My Brilliant Plan to Fix Everything is coming June 2023
