Patrick Pennington is a sullen yet compelling hero. He is inarticulate and insolent, yet fiercely loyal to those who have given him friendship. He will never back down from a fight and acts as if he cares about nothing, yet is passionate about two things: his music and his football. Although not very interested in teenage girls, his smouldering good looks attract them anyway. In this story about his last term at secondary school, it clear that unless Patrick can master his temper and channel his talent, he will come to a bad end.
