His first book, Scholar of the Ebony Crown, is a heart-warming action-adventure novel for young readers aged 9-12, which follows the story of Eddy, a mixed-race foster kid who is forced to wear his older cousin’s smelly hand-me-downs and is bullied relentlessly at school.
Through his book, Hutchinson presents real-life problems in a thought-provoking, imaginative way, providing young readers with comfort and assurance that they are not alone in their struggles – and that bullies will never, ever win.
