The Boy From Mercury

Dublin, circa 1960. Eight year old Harry Cronin has only one explanation for his troubled existence : he is an extraterrestrial from Mercury ! After all, his father is dead, his mother seems much too old, his teenage brother wants nothing to do with him, and for some unknown reason the school bully is after him. Harry can only conclude that he and his sidekick dog Max have been sent from planet Mercury to study life on earth.
