Homeless on the streets of London, twelve-year-old Bully survives with his dog, Jack. His discovery of a lottery ticket worth millions sets off a desperate chain of events. As Bully struggles to collect the winnings he is too young to legally claim, others scheme to steal them. Byrne's complex portrait of Bully--clever and rough, independent and angry--propels the story.
