What is The Day I Became The Most Wanted Boy In The World about?

Nine-year-old Pete prefers quiet days at home watching snooker, but everything changes when he accidentally angers a local gangster. Soon, he and his irritating next-door neighbour Sammy are swept into a chaotic adventure involving a shop robbery, a frantic chase and a race against time. With everyone convinced that Pete is the most wanted boy in the world, he must find a way to prove his innocence, survive one disaster after another and perhaps discover an unexpected friendship along the way.
