About this ebook
The Vikkers children are having a difficult time with their father in prison and their mother in a constant fog of alcohol. The welfare is sniffing around; they want to take the younger girls - 'in moral danger,' they say. The Vikkers need to disappear.
Their mother's pension will be stopped if there is no known address, but Michael and Elspeth are able to bring in money, even if not with conventional jobs. But to support the whole family with no government support? There are just too many of them. The girls have to be protected, but there is the Boys' Home where a friend lives. He says it's good.
Jeremy is twelve, with a happy-go-lucky nature. He'll be fine in a Boys' Home. None of them are so sure of Steven. He is 'soft.' He agrees though. It would not be fair on Elspeth and Michael not to agree.
Ian MacKender, manager of Penwinnard, knows that the home has gained a reputation. But he does not expect two boys to arrive in the night and ask to stay.

The four books of the Shuki series are available as ebooks and as paperbacks. 'Not a Man' is the first of the Shuki Series, followed by 'The King's Favourite.' These are quite separate stories, and can be read as stand-alone books. However, you will enjoy the third in the series, 'To Love and To Protect,' more if you have read at least one of the others. The fourth in the series is a little different, and covers Shuki's mature years, and even ranges forward a few decades. This can be read as a stand-alone book. There is no 'adult' material in this one, though there is in the earlier novels, especially the first.The six Penwinnard Stories are about the boys of Penwinnard Boys' Home - their spirit, their occasional mischief, and their aspirations. The final one, 'Price of Survival,' will be more widely available shortly. This one is about Bob, whom we first met in 'Angel No More.'These books are also available as paperbacks.
