Stories that challenge attitudes and prejudice

 

 

Teagen - 5 stars

Wonderfully put together and written. There are parts where it feels like you are actually there the graphic imagery is outstanding

 

 

Cara - 5 stars

 A must read to understand the underbelly of the murky side of society

 

 

 

Matthew - 5 stars

incredible book - gritty, heartbreaking, witty, clever, troubling but captivating and very transparent. It shows very clearly how traumas & bad circumstances can effect a child long term.

 

Raymond - 5 stars

Dark, disturbing, evocative, unforgiving and descriptive picture of a side of London I’ve never known. Just saying it like it is and giving room to make up our own minds.
