In these wondrously strange and revealing stories, Tom Kealey chronicles the struggles and triumphs of the young and marginalised as they discover many ways of growing up. Their names are Merrill, Omar, Shelby, Laika, Winston and Toomey, but most people don't see them. They are boxers in training and the children of fishermen. They are altar boys in a poverty-stricken parish. They are assistant groundskeepers and assistant camel-keepers.
