TRAILERS
BECOMING NANCY - NOVEL
For David Starr, being cast as Nancy in the school of Oliver! is a shock. Living in 1970's East Dulwich, surrounded by his colourful relatives, he is smart-mouthed, fanatical about pop music and ready to shine. Rehearsals begin, and he strikes up a friendship with the handsome Maxie Boswell, captain of the football team - but will they become more than just good friends?
Discovering an ally in teacher Hamish McClarnon, and spurred on by his best friend, Frances Bassey, David takes on the school bully and anyone else who threatens to stand in the way of true love. Vibrant and full of life, this touching coming-of-age novel will transport you back to your first music obsession and the highs and lows of your first love.
