First edition (publ. Doubleday)

The Wrong Boy, published in 2000,[1] is playwright Willy Russell’s first novel.[2]

Russell is mainly known for his plays Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine which have both been made into films, and Blood Brothers, a musical.

The Wrong Boy, like Educating Rita & Our Day Out, is about education; this time about a teenage boy who falls foul of the British educational system, and how he eventually ‘makes good’.[3]
