Don't Smile Till Easter

Beschreibung

The worst kid, the best teacher, united as underdogs, battling for justice. Set in Australia, amidst the tragedy and humour of everyday school life, the worst kid defends the best teacher. Lukas is an underdog and a winner: intelligent, angry, humorous, fourteen years of age and a guerrilla warfare fighter against the educational establishment. To Lukas comes Donny: teacher, coach and mentor. What happens when Lukas finds something to admire in the enemy? What happens when your new, best mate is unjustly judged guilty of a crime against a student? He's guilty until proved innocent. You go into battle for your mate because you know he's the fair dinkum article even if, at the end of it all, you have to say goodbye. What have you learnt from all of this? Do you take revenge, or not because you are the better man?
