Notes
After years working in the prison service, Celia Lashlie knows what can happen when boys make the wrong choices. During the recent Good Man Project she talked to 180 classes of boys throughout New Zealand, and what she found was surprising, amusing and, in some cases, frightening. In this book, she reveals what goes on inside the world of boys, and that it is an entirely different world from that of girls.Contents
