Synopsis

On the day I was born . . . She called me Special Kev. I am the only one

of all my eleventy million cousins who has curly hair, red hair, and freckles. Anyway that thing that happened with Nicky Bathgate, well, it wasn't my fault.       

 

Chris McKimmie’s specialty is to evoke the emotions of childhood with a child’s clarity, unfiltered by adult language, visual or verbal. Kev is different than other members of his family. Through his conflict with Fatty Boombah, we experience not only his punishment but also his redemption through the love of his parents and extended family.
