Meet Derruck Danyul Riley and his best mate, Gal. This tale of two inseparable Scottish lads follows their scrapes growing up in Coatbridge, from egg-hunting to outrunning the fearsome Bricklayer. Life in Coatbridge is not always fun and games, though, and the boys learn what friendship truly means in the face of danger. Des Dillon's award-winning debut perfectly captures the vitality and intensity of boyhood friendship, as well as painting a vivid picture of contemporary Scotland.
