Non Fiction Book of the Month : May 2012
TITLE : Paperboy
AUTHOR : Tony Macaulay
It's Belfast, 1975, and a 12-year-old boy wearing Brut aftersahve has just been appointed paperboy to the Upper Shankill by Oul' Mac.
The smell of Tayto Cheese & Onion crisp is on his breath, and the aroma of fresh fish suppers and burning double-decker buses is in the air. It is the era of platform shoes and parallel trousers, and Paperboy is taking guitar lessons with Mr Rowing so he can play along to the Bay City Rollers. There are secrets at school and dangers on the streets, but Paperboy is happy, so he is. He is a good paperboy. He delivers.
