disconnected in the city he's just moved to, Sunny joins a boxing club
to learn to protect himself after a racist attack. He finds the
community he's been desperately seeking at the club, and a mentor in
trainer Shobu, who helps him find his place in the world.
But
racial tensions are rising in the city, and when a Far Right march
through Bristol turns violent, Sunny is faced with losing his new best
friend Keir to radicalisation. A gripping, life-affirming YA novel
about friendship, radicalisation and finding where you belong.
