Since the death of his mum, fifteen-year-old Billy Monson has
mostly been cooped up in his bedroom listening to David Bowie
records and worrying about girls and approaching adulthood; but
with the advent of punk rock, he is prompted to explore life beyond
his council flat. Inspired by the music and the message, and with
the support of a small group of likeminded friends - particularly
the carefree Mags - he immerses himself in punk and begins to find
his feet. Despite the unwanted attentions of school bullies,
football hooligans and Teddy Boys, Billy grows in confidence and
develops an understanding of the world around him; but it is the
adults in his life his dad and obnoxious girlfriend Shirley
Twinset, his sister and dodgy partner Mole who will ultimately
shape Billy s year. Set against the backdrop of the Queen s Silver
Jubilee and riots against the racist National Front, this is a
coming of age story that will both move and amuse.
