In this heart-stopping adventure, Benjamin Zephaniah shows us what
it was like to be a child of the Windrush generation. Leonard is
shocked when he arrives with his mother in the port of Southampton.
His father is a stranger to him, it's cold and even the Jamaican
food doesn't taste the same as it did back home in Maroon Town. But
his parents have brought him here to try to make a better life, so
Leonard does his best not to complain, to make new friends, to do
well at school - even when people hurt him with their words and
with their fists. How can a boy so far from home learn to enjoy his
new life when so many things count against him? 'Zephaniah pulls no
punches in his depictions of the racism that Leonard suffers both
at school and in the streets in a powerful, moving account of
family and fitting in' iNews 'An invaluable story for any young
readers who enjoy adventure and want to learn more about the
Windrush generation's experience. Essential reading' Alex Wheatle
