People Power From the UK to the USA, they made headlines across the world. Steven Walker had a keen interest in politics, the media and society. He witnessed his older neighbour Stanley die through poverty. He saw the poor getting poorer, while the rich got richer. He witnessed many political scandals and media cover-ups. He had enough. Steven, with his life-long friend Donna, teamed up with Midnight Justice, one of the world's most famous computer hackers. Their goal was to bring fairness, justice and equality for the people, by the people. It was a David versus Goliath battle. Would they succeed?

Part of The DK Art School series, this book allows readers to choose the medium they wish to use and the subject they wish to study.
