Overview: Billy Mercer is fourteen years old and tired of being laughed at.
At school, the other boys mock his cheap clothes and the holes in his trainers. At home, his mother works herself to exhaustion just to keep food on the table. Money is always short. Respect is even harder to come by.
So when someone notices him, Billy is pulled into a world of manipulation, intimidation and empty promises. What begins with subtle threats soon becomes something far more dangerous than he ever imagined.
Meanwhile, on the Ashbourne estate, Terry Foster watches helplessly as strangers slowly take over his flat, his routine and what remains of his life.
Told through alternating perspectives from opposite ends of a brutal spectrum, The Boy on the Sofa is a raw and deeply human novel about poverty, exploitation and survival in modern Britain.
