Rhino Boy

Rhino Boy

by JohnBrindley (Author)

Synopsis

Ryan is an ordinary boy with an ordinary life - until the day he grows a rhinoceros horn in the middle of his forehead. And now Ryan the school bully knows how it feels to be jeered at and whispered about; he knows what it's like to be the result of a media frenzy. He knows what it does to the mother he sneers at, the sister he snipes at, the father he hardly ever sees. And all Ryan's anger, fear, shame and disillusionment explode.
