The Scouting Book For Boys(2010)
"Thomas Turgoose is excellent as David, a scared boy coming to grips with the realities of growing up"
Childhood was a wonderful place for me, full of water balloon fights, bike rides and scraped knees. Perhaps that’s just the rose-tinted specs of nostalgia but I remember not wanting it to end.
