Damian's new friend wants him to be a hero. But what
does that really mean?
Damian's family are living under witness protection now that his
dad, a once powerful gangster, has turned Queen's evidence.
They've been moved to a cramped flat in a run-down council estate,
and they've all had to take on new names. Then Damian - sorry,
Finn - meets costumed superhero Star Kid, who wants Finn
to join his mission to keep the estate safe from criminals.
Soon Finn is forced to ask himself: who is he, really?
A funny, heartfelt novel about friendship and family - and where
the limits are for both.

is coming June 2023

PRAISE FOR MY DAD IS DEFINITELY NOT A CRIME LORD

person, Damian discovers what it means to be a hero. There is a
depth to the story which explores themes of masculinity, family
and self-awareness with a light touch." - Just Imagine
"Such fun and great read. I read this book in under a day
and even skipped playing Uno with my friends so that i could finish
reading the book." - enelligan, age 6, TOPPSTA
