Synopsis

Shorty and Alberto are more than best friends. They're blood brothers, both about to turn thirteen, running wild on the streets of Medellin, Colombia. In this troubled South American city, guns speak louder than words. A killing can be bought for next to nothing here, with kids hired to do the dirty work. So when Alberto comes to the attention of a gangland boss, Shorty is left to kick at the dirt and reflect on his lot in life.

Media Reviews
SUPERHUMAN: 'When I first opened Matt Whyman's novel, Superhuman, I knew it was a book with a difference. It wasn't just his descriptions, but the style. Matt Whyman has a very unique style of writing He writes as if he is really there, reviewing what's actually happening and writing about it. Also, I like Whyman's humour and wit, which he uses to great effect in his teenage story. He gets his characters across to you in an excellent way, with their looks, personality and actions. Overall, I think this is a book worth reading. I recommend this book to other young teenagers.' * Ben Grose - teenage reviewer for Red House. *
Unputdownable and unforgettable. * TIME OUT *
Based on real events, this is a shocking novel, guaranteed to have you spellbound. * The Times *
Brilliant, powerful and pitiful. * Hampstead and Highgate Express *
Boy Kills Man is a fantastic piece of writing... I've no doubt that boys will love it. * The Times *
