Roger Rides His Luck

It is England,1960, decades before the internet is invented. There are two TV channels to choose from, and phones are mobile only when they are ripped out of public phone boxes. The Beatles have just formed but few, including ten-year-old Roger Price, have heard of them. About to start his final year at Hillside Junior School, Roger has far bigger things on his mind. Will he fall victim to Old Man Thomas's brutal bullying? Will he become conker champion? And will Carol, the cutest girl in the Universe, notice him before the year is out?

Roger, possessing neither academic nor athletic ability, relies on his wiles and a healthy slice of good fortune.
