The lad from Toon

By Mike Short

On the streets of Newcastle, one larger-than-life character rules the Toon Armed wi' a black and white kit full of clarts, a pocket full of nowt and an an endless love for Newcastle United. From rowdy pub crawls and daft adventures to matchday madness at St. James' Park, this hilarious rhyming tale follows a loveable Geordie rogue whose heart is as big as his passion for the club. He may be skint, scruffy and always one pint away from chaos, but when the crowd starts singing, he knows exactly where he belongs - in the thick of it. Packed with humour, local charm, and the unmistakeable spirit of the Toon Army, this joyful picture book is a celebration of friendship, football, and being black & white through thick and thin. Perfect for football fans (and big kids from Newcastle too ).
