Help I'm a Teenage Outlaw

The year is 1643, a time of Civil War in England and Wales. When 12-year old Tom York inherits the family business, he discovers that his late mother was the wild and daring highwayman Swiftnick - a title which now passes to Tom. But the last thing Tom needs is a dangerous and poorly-paid after school job. Having said that, he does look kind of cool in his outlaw mask...

Tom loves the fame and glory that come with the title 'Swiftnick'. Seeing his picture on wanted posters is quite a kick. If only it weren't for the dangerous highway stuff, this would be the perfect job for him. Tom’s vanity is coupled with an overblown sense of his ability as a highwayman: his vanity and overconfidence regularly land his gang in trouble. If things get a little too dangerous, Tom isn’t above taking a non-confrontational approach to hold-ups; he’s quite prepared to lie, cheat, charm, trick, scam and beg. And if these ploys don’t work, he can run fast too.
