About the Books
Boy, Everywhere is A.M. Dassu's acclaimed debut, following Sami and his family as they are forced to flee Damascus, travelling through a smuggler's den in Turkey and a detention centre in Manchester in search of safety. It humanises the refugee experience for young readers. Fight Back follows thirteen-year-old Aaliyah, a book-loving, K-pop fan who is also Muslim. After a terrorist attack near her home, she faces rising Islamophobia and bullying, and when her school bans her hijab, she must find courage to stand up for her identity. Boot It, written for World Book Day, reunites readers with Sami in a fast-paced story about football and standing up to casual racism disguised as "banter." Together, these three books explore race, faith and belonging through accessible, character-driven storytelling ideal for classroom use, book clubs or independent reading.
