Publisher's Synopsis
Billy Casper is a boy with nowhere to go and nothing to say; part of the limbo generation of school leavers too old for lessons and too young to know anything about the outside world. He hates and is hated. His only companion is his kestrel hawk trained from the nest, and, like himself, trained but not tamed, with the will to destroy or be destroyed. Filmed by Ken Loach, KES has made a growing impact since its publication.
