    About this ebook

    Why do children who seem to be perfect angels at home and in school sometimes end up on the wrong side of the law? Malcolm Roper, a teenager of impeccable character, gives in to the allure of Reginald Littlebottom, a teenager with numerous adventure stories, a person-magnet, and with an unknown dark side. He soon gets to the wrong side of the law. After a brief experience in the youth offenders facility and thanks to the kind young man he met there, Malcom comes out a changed person with a new ideology and mission.

      The prospect of remaining in Wiltshire for the four-day Jubilee celebrations was denied me at a stroke by the arrival of a pamphlet through the cottage letter box. Sterner critics might accuse me of lacking community spirit. I confess I had been drea
