We don’t need another hero

15.12.08 | Comment?

Book CoverViolence 101 by Denis Wright tells the story of Hamish Graham, a fourteen-year-old action man with “a disturbing past”. Combining third person narrated passages and first person diary entries, we get an insightful glimpse into the life of a boy looking for heroes. Hamish is spending time in a young offenders institution where he finds himself getting into trouble thanks to an anger management problem. Faced with a tough situation, can Hamish channel his resourcefulness and intelligence to learn what it really means to be a hero?
