Synopsis

"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.

Jaspal is a city boy and life in a village just isn't for him. Moreover, he's the only Asian teenager around. When the insults begin, Jaspal's dad tells him that things will be OK – but the racism just gets worse. Soon it becomes clear that things will never get better. Jaspal's life will never be the same again…Barrington Stoke specialise in books for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic
