For those who love the film Billy Elliot (or even the stage musical) I would recommend giving this a read. It follows the same story (and even has a few direct quotes) but it doesn’t really expand on anything. 

Remember that it is aimed at a younger audience so no swear words and a very quick and easy read. 
Also note the chapters are written from different characters points of view such as Billy, Tony (Billy’s brother) and Jackie (Billy’s dad).
