Acclaimed performance poet and novelist Benjamin Zephaniah's honest, wry
and poignant story of a young refugee left in London is of even more
power and pertinence today than when it was first published. Life is
not safe for Alem. His father is Ethopian, his mother Eritrean.
Their countries are at war, and Alem is welcome in neither place. So
Alem is excited to spend a holiday in London with his father - until he
wakes up to find him gone. What seems like a betrayal is in fact an act
of love, but now Alem is alone in a strange country, and he must forge
his own path ...
Brilliantly written and with a real ear for
dialogue, fans of Angie Thomas and Malorie Blackman will love Benjamin
Zephaniah's novels for young adult reader
