Pen in one hand, on my wrist, a ticking clock
I''ve got to make this work, just need a little luck...
When fourteen-year-old Ronny’s life is struck by tragedy, his mum decides it’s finally time they move out of London.
In his new city, as a Black teenager in a mostly white school, Ronny feels like a complete outsider and struggles to balance keeping his head down with his ambition of becoming a rapper.
But when a local poet comes into class, Ronny discovers a world he’s never considered before. Rap is like spoken word, bars equal poetry – and maybe the combination of both could be the key to achieving his dreams?
This empowering verse novel announces the arrival of an exciting new talent in YA fiction – Waterstones.com
