This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a teenage boy. \n\nHe is wandering into the night listening to the voices in his head: his teachers, his parents, the people he has hurt and the people who are trying to love him. \n\nHe is feeling a little sorry for himself. \n\nShy is a novel about imagination, guilt and boyhood. It is about being lost in the dark, and realising you are not alone.
