Description
You're twelve years old. Your mother's a junkie and your father might as well be dead.
You can't read or write, and you don't go to school.
An average day means sitting round a bonfire with your mates smoking drugs, or stealing cars.
Welcome to Urban's world. Bernard Hare was on society's margins, living on one of Leeds' roughest estates and with a liking for drink and drugs.
So he knew what life in the underclass was like in '90s Britain.
But even he was shocked when he met Urban, an illiterate, glue-sniffing twelve-year-old. And through Urban he got to know the Shed Crew - an anarchic gang of kids between the ages of ten and fourteen; joy-riding, thieving runaways, who were no strangers to drugs or sex.
Nearly all had been in care, but few adults really cared.
Bernard decided to do what he could. He didn't know what he was letting himself in for.
