Wee Danny Boy

Gerard Brennan – “A unique voice among contemporary Irish writers,” according to no less an authority than Stuart Neville – returns to the fray with WEE DANNY, a novella spin-off from WEE ROCKETS. Quoth the blurb elves:

Incarcerated in a home for young offenders, Wee Danny Gibson has learned how to act in front of his teachers, his educational psychologist and the institute’s supervisors. And if he continues to keep his nose clean, he could be rewarded with a day-trip to Castle Ward.
  But good behaviour is no easy task when his fellow inmates are determined to get in his face. Then there’s Conan ‘The Barbarian’ Quinlan, a gentle giant who Danny feels compelled to look out for.
  Friend or liability? Danny can’t be sure, but he knows he needs to stay focussed on that little taste of freedom.
