Beskrivning
An innocent night out to celebrate a sixteenth birthday turns to tragedy in this powerful story of racial intolerance from award-winning author Bali Rai. It’s Arjan’s sixteenth birthday and he’s celebrating with his mates – going to see a film and then get a Nando’s. He’s looking forward to some good banter and wondering what might happen with Jem, who’s been looking at him differently these days …But the night comes to a dramatic and violent end when Arjan is targeted by a group of racist thugs, who single him out due to the colour of his skin and the turban that he wears as a symbol of his commitment to his faith and culture.Is the life of a good friend and beloved son really worth so little? Please note that this book contains mature content (with themes of racially motivated violence) and language that some may find offensive. Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 7.

Recensioner i media

"This short but powerful read plunges you into the midst of Arjan’s sixteenth birthday, but a celebration full of hope for the future turns into a shocking tragedy. Inspired by true events, and with its themes of acceptance, racism and violence explored with care, this is a perfect read to get younger teens thoughtfully discussing ideas of tolerance and empathy. A dyslexia-friendly read, with emotive illustrations throughout, it makes an ideal transition text and is perfect for engaging more reluctant readers." — The Open University
