Buck

For the insecure and nondescript Elias, teenage life is a minefield. He takes his mind off it by playing his favourite video game, in which digital hero Commander Buck always saves the day. When Elias plays, he forgets all about his two irritating older sisters, his busy single mum, the bully in his new school, the world…

Elias’s room is his refuge, a place where nobody bothers him. Until one day... Commander Buck himself is standing next to Elias’s bed. And from then on, everything changes!

In this coming-of-age story, we follow Elias’s transformation into a confident adolescent, who dares to be who he wants to be: someone who stands up to the school bully, someone who doesn’t just let people push in front of him in the checkout queue, someone who isn’t too timid to reveal his feelings to the girl of his dreams...

This process in naturally one of trial and error. Sometimes painful, sometimes funny, but always real.
