Welcome to St Hell is like a graphic novel, but true. Author-illustrator Lewis Hancox talks about his journey to becoming the man he was meant to be, including the trauma, confusion and hurt. He talks about the things he went through – some of which are now funny and some of which aren’t. The publisher, Scholastic, says the book has adult themes for readers aged 16+.
