Wonder Boy by the writer Ross Willis

‘What use is a boy who can’t say his own name?’

Twelve-year-old Sonny stammers and struggles with the world of vicious vowels, confusing consonants and the biggest beast of all—small talk. His only solace is the comic-book hero of his own creation, who helps him soar above reality. When cast in his school’s production of Hamlet, Sonny discovers that language is power and that the real heroes might be closer than he thinks. Wonder Boy is a “boundingly imaginative” drama about finding your voice
