The Kid (Film Tie-in)

A True Story



The Kid has now sold over half a million copies world-wide. Spring 2010 sees it released as a major motion picture

Kevin Lewis never had a chance. Growing up on a poverty-stricken London council estate, beaten and starved by his parents, bullied at school and abandoned by social services, his life was never his own. Even after he was put into care, he found himself out on the streets caught up in a criminal underworld that knew him as 'The Kid'.

Yet Kevin survived to make a better life for himself, and has become a bestselling novelist in his own right.

The Kid and The Kid Moves On, published together for the first time in this film tie-in edition, are his heartbreaking and inspiring true story . . .
