The Wrong Boy
 |
The Wrong Boy, published in 2000, is playwright Willy Russell’s first novel. [1]
Russell is mainly known for his plays Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine which have both been made into films, and Blood Brothers, a musical.
The Wrong Boy, like Educating Rita & Our Day Out, is also about education; this time about a teenage boy who falls foul of the British educational system, and how he eventually ‘makes good’.[2]
