Billy Elliot by Melvin Burgess
inspiring
4.5
4. 5⭐ =Good...bordering on Very Good.
Paperback.
Having seen the film and stage version, I was unsure if I would enjoy this(although to be honest, despite loving plays and music of all genres, musicals are not really my 'bag').I need not have worried, this was a great book!
Quick to read but with plenty of emotion. This really set the scene on the dreadful anxieties around the closure of mines in the North of England. I remember this time vividly.
What a star Billy Elliott is. Hold those dreams and with support, anything is possible. 😁
