Daniel Brown does not like sport, any sport, but especially football. He prefers to draw and paint. Because of this his father Daz bullies and abuses him. His mother Kiki despises him because he's not the tough boy she wanted to give her husband. Daniel struggles at school, has no friends and no one to turn to, until his neighbour old Mr Granger takes him under his wing. At the same time, Daniel's Food Tech teacher discovers Daniel can cook very well, and enters him into the Junior Superchef Competition. Daniel also meets Ella, a pretty confident teenager two years older than him, who cares and supports him. From then on Daniel's life changes, and along with it danger and pain, culminating in a dramatic conclusion. 'A moving and emotional novel of one boy's struggle to overcome adversary, and be like any other teenager.' Sasmjadahoha Publishing.
