Product Description
Product Description
"You get used to the abuse. It becomes part of your life, like catching the bus". Jaspal and his family move to a village and, as the only Asian teenager around, he has a difficult time. But the racist attacks get increasingly violent and this shocking story ends in tragedy. This book is suitable for reluctant readers of 14 plus, with a reading age of eight years and above. It is printed on cream paper, which is proven to be more restful on the eye. The font is specially designed to encourage a smooth and easy read. There are frequent page breaks, short, headed chapters and illustrations on almost every page. A wide range of specialists, including children themselves, have read and commented on the book prior to publication.
About the Author
Leicester born Bali Rai received rave reviews for his debut novel (Un)arranged Marriage (Corgi) and has won The Angus, Stockport and Leicester Book Awards. He says: 'I know a lot of Asian kids who don't read books. I guess it's because they don't think their concerns are addressed to them. I want to tackle that.'
