Being Billy

First time I saw this on Goodreads, I decided that I weren't interested. After seeing it in my local library and deciding to give it ago and i'm glad I did as some other books have also recently proved.

The book's main character as you may have guessed is Billy. Billy is a professional lifer who has a little brother and sister. Nobody can keep him out of trouble and as we read the book, we start to see Billy develop and as the blur states “He can't be anything else. Can he?” ~ we start to see if there is another Billy to Billy.

I would like to see a follow up on this, even if it was a short story ~ a year or so ahead or maybe when he's 18. I wouldn't mind visiting the scene that one of the characters are themselves looking forward too.
