A powerful, compelling novel from the critically-acclaimed author of I Am Thunder, about making friends, and breaking them too.
Fifteen-year-old Ilyas is under pressure from everyone: GCSE's are looming and his teachers just won't let up, his dad wants him to join the family business and his mates don't care about any of it. There's no space in Ilyas' life to just be a teenager.
Serving detention one day, Ilyas finds a kindred spirit in Kelly Matthews, who is fed up with being pigeonholed as the good girl, and their friendship blows the social strata of high school wide open. But when Kelly catches the eye of one of the local bad boys, Imran, he decides to seduce her for a bet – and Ilyas is faced with losing the only person who understands him. Standing up to Imran puts Ilyas' family at risk, but it's time for him to be the superhero he draws in his comic-books, and go kick the moon.
Kick the Moon, is Muhammad Khan's explosive second novel, with original comic-book art from Amrit Birdi, bestselling illustrator of Username:Evie.

The powerful and long-anticipated companion to The Skin I'm In,
Sharon Flake's bestselling modern classic, presents the unflinching
story of Char, a young woman trapped in the underworld of human
trafficking. My feet are heavy as stones when I walk up the block
wondering why I can't find my old self. Char has always had to be
tough. But now the hard edges that have always driven people away
are all the protection she has against the world. When Char is
turned out of her home, she falls prey to human trafficking. While
she's frightened, she remains smart and strong, determined to bring
herself and fellow victims out of the dark. The Skin I'm In was a
game changer that redefined young adult literature by presenting
characters, voices, and real world experiences that had not been
fully seen. Now Sharon Flake offers readers another timely and
radical story of a girl on the brink and how her choices will lead
her to either fall or fly.
