Gypsy Boy on the Run

'An incredible story of a unique life...It would have been easy to descend into a "misery memoir", but Mikey tells the story with humour and no self-pity...It's so intense you might miss your bus stop...One of the most moving books you read this year' -- HEAT ***** 'Gypsy Boy on the Run is a fantastic book. It follows Mikey as he tries to escape the demons of his past and his father's fury. Prepare to get funny looks from fellow passengers on public transport as you alternate between crying and punching the air in triumph. Mikey's story will leave you full of awe and admiration at how a person can go through so much at such a young age and come through the other side not only sane, but a good person. At an age when most of us are studying for our GCSEs and thinking about who to snog, Mikey was alone, on the run and fighting for survival. The strength and the spirit of Mikey shone through in the brilliant Gypsy Boy and continues to shine even brighter in Gypsy Boy on the Run. I can't recommend it highly enough.' -- Sara Cox, Broadcaster
