Author Patrice Lawrence
`As a secondary English teacher I have no reservations in recommending this book for a class reader, intervention book or even put onto the curriculum as it comes with a full and detailed recourse and lesson pack.' Mr. Palmer, 5* Amazon Review
`Lawrence skillfully gets into the head of her character; we really feel for him [Al] as he tries to navigate the new normal... I was struck by the author's ability to capture Al's bubbling feelings of anger, and how he dealt with them - something I know lots of readers will relate to' Emma Perry, My Book Corner
`... this eye-opening book covers a wide range of themes, including: poverty, crime and the importance of family.' Rob McCann, VIP Reading
