Leap of Faith (Paperback)

Kevin Bannister is a quiet 11 year old boy living in a small village in the North of England. He is about to start a new school and his life is about to change. Spud (David Tate) is the school bully and he soon finds a new victim in Kevin. Spud is sly and clever by posing as Kevin's friend but secretly poking, kicking and submitting him to mental torment. In fear of retribution Kevin feels unable to tell anyone, not even his best friend Billy. His home life suffers and his school work deteriorates as a consequence. Life seems unbearable until he finds some comfort in a friendship with Becky James who becomes his first girlfriend. These precious moments are short lived as a turn of events leads Kevin into taking drastic action. From that moment Kevin's life would never be the same and he takes his first steps towards his leap of faith.
