'Powerful, timely and relentlessly compelling. HOLLOW FIRES burns
brightly with Samira Ahmed's trademark blend of thought-provoking
social relevance, heartfelt coming-of-age and whip-smart plotting'
Karen McManus, author of ONE OF US IS LYING Safiya Mirza dreams of
becoming a journalist. One thing she's learned as editor of her
school newspaper is that a journalist's job is to find the facts
and not let personal bias affect the story: but that changes the
day she discovers Jawad. Jawad Ali was just fourteen when a teacher
saw him wearing a cosplay jetpack and mistook it for a bomb. A
mistake that got Jawad arrested, labelled a terrorist - 'Bomb Boy'
- and eventually killed. But who was the young boy behind the
headlines? With Jawad's haunting voice guiding her throughout her
investigation, Safiya seeks to tell the whole truth about the
murdered boy and those who killed him. A powerful story of our
times, Hollow Fires exposes the evil that hides in plain sight and
the silent complicity of privileged bystanders who use alternative
facts to bend the truth to their liking.
