Featuring boxing action, surprising plot twists, compelling characters and an inspiring boy-hero, this funny and heart-warming show is guaranteed to pack a punch – for children aged 5+ and their grown-ups.
If you liked Roald Dahl’s Danny Champion of the World, the books of Jacqueline Wilson and the Rocky Movies, then you’ll love this ‘edge-of-your-seat storytelling’ (Manchester Libraries).
On the surface it’s a simple adventure story, centered around shy twelve-year-old Alfie. But it’s also about love, loss, family and learning how to fight for what you want.
“A thrilling children’s adventure full of heart and ebullience” Sophie Willan
“A positive and gripping story for kids that captures the true drama of the boxing ring” Ricky Hatton MBE
“Compelling” Alex Wheatle MBE
“David and Goliath with boxing gloves!” Jenny Moore
