Smasher

With all new Manga-style artwork, this new edition will enable exploration and discussion of the difficult issues around alienation and low self-esteem that angry teenagers may be struggling with.

Simon Asher, known as Smasher, bullies, gets into fights and more. At best he is heading for trouble and, at worst, jail. He is angry because of all the stuff that has happened in his life and doesn’t care about what he does or where he ends up. One day, Smasher realises he has some serious choices to make.
