Description

Everything changed for Cornelius Walker when his Nigerian-British family moved from Peckham, London, after the murder of a neighbourhood boy, to an estate in Essex dominated by a white gang. Cornelius quickly understands he must assimilate and make friends with monsters—or die. A deeply moving and immersive first-person account of racism and the violence of fitting in. Angie Driscoll
