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'...

Based on the international bestseller published in 2003, which has now sold over half a million copies, this is his heartbreaking and inspiring story.
