Coming from a poor family Toby endures victimization from the other kids in school. At only 9 years old, Toby has plans to prove these kids wrong.

Toby learns that you're not the job you do, you're not how much you have in your wallet and that you're only one thing.... part of this world and that makes us all equal. With this strong believe, Toby shows us all what he is capable of and that strength comes from your heart.

The Boy Who Had Nothing

***

Chapter 1

It’s November 2011. It’s coming closer to that time of year where I have to put up with the other nine year old kids in my class bragging about what Santa might bring them. For me, things aren’t just given out like that. I don’t have the sweet luxuries in life like Xbox’s, PlayStations, big Plasma TVs and Sky+. In our house we have a fourteen-inch portable TV sat on the side with five channels, which does us fine in all honesty. We never seem to get bored.

I really don’t want to get out of bed today but I know I have to. I hate going to school at the best of times.
