A must read. * Angie Thomas, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give *...the protagonist of Jewell Parker Rhodes's tender, timely Ghost Boys (Orion £6.99) - 12-year-old Jerome - dies on page one. Unmoored from life, he switches between the events that led to his death (borrowed toy gun, trigger-happy white police officer) and its surprising and hopeful aftermath. * The Observer New Review *This is a beautiful and tragic book that is unfortunately very necessary right now. * BookTrust *This is an incredibly moving and at times harrowing story with unbelievable moments, some sadly based on true events. A thought provoking story for older, mature juniors offering much to discuss. * Primary Times *A powerful story about police violence in the United States, invoking the real life killings of Tamir Rice and Emmett Till. Jerome's story is a call to action, told unflinchingly but with great humanity. -- Jill Murphy * The Bookbag *This is one of those books that you love, but it's uncomfortable. It's upsetting and it's disconcerting. You feel helpless and angry. The writing is fantastic [...] -- Victoria Long * Reading Zone - School Librarian Review *This is a truly eye-opening story equality and racism. * Scoop *In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement comes this novel by an African American writer whose writing has been too long delayed in reaching UK readers [...] a fast-paced and gripping, as well as thought-provoking, read. -- Ann Lazin - Literature & Library Development Manager at CLPE * Research Rich Pedagogies *This is a must-read book, an opportunity to talk about race, as well as an emotional and involving story. -- Jennifer Harris * Reading Zone - Teacher review *This story will absorb you and break your heart. * Read by Jess *I cannot recommend this book highly enough. -- Matt Long * Reading Zone *...heartbreaking. [...] This is a strong book. * The Book Witch *A thought-provoking and timely read for children aged 11 and up. * The Good Schools Guide - Chalk & Chat *Rhodes achieves a lot in this relatively short book, dealing with grief, history, the idea of biases (both conscious and unconscious) and the fight for justice. This is a beautiful and tragic book that is unfortunately very necessary right now. * BookTrust *

    Book SynopsisJasmine Stirling, author of A Most Clever Girl: How Jane Austen Discovered Her Voice, delivers a powerful, poetic picture book biography about suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt, perfect for fans of I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark and the Rebel Girls series. As a child, Carrie Chapman Catt asked a lot of questions: How many stars are in the sky? Do germs have personalities? And why can't Mama vote? Catt's curiosity led her to college, to a career in journalism, and finally to becoming the president of The National American Woman Suffrage Association. Catt knew the movement needed a change-and she set to work mobilizing women (and men) across the nation to dare to question a woman's right to vote. On August 18, 1920, Catt pinned a yellow rose to her dress and waited while lawmakers in Tennessee cast their deciding votes to ratify the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. After a seventy-year campaign, had women finally won the right to vote?Trade Review“For readers in search of envelope-pushing role models, Carrie Chapman Catt is hard to top, as Stirling demonstrates in this admiring tribute to a woman who led the final charge to the Nineteenth Amendment.” —Booklist (starred review) “This concise, insightful account allows readers to focus on the salient points of Catt’s work and should inspire them to follow suit and support causes they are passionate about . . . . A captivating, respectful portrait of a dynamic American woman who made history.” —Kirkus Reviews

Incredible voice, impeccably crafted - so funny, moving and terrifyingly real. A verse novel for our times. I read it, then read it again. So will you. * Finbar Hawkins, author of Stone *While this novel is a work of fiction, it offers real insight into how children are groomed and coerced by adult criminals. * Claire Alldis, National Disrupting Exploitation Programme Manager for The Children’s Society *This is an outstanding and important novel that should be widely read by parents and teachers as well as by the young people who will find it gripping, relatable, authentic and unputdownable. * LoveReading4Kids *Crossing the Line is a fast-paced, highly readable novel in verse. This an exciting and growing sub-genre of YA fiction that tends to particularly appeal to reluctant or disengaged readers. The innovative use of different fonts and layouts in this case is particularly appealing and draws the reader into the narrative. The post-covid setting is very relatable and the murky world of drug dealing makes for addictive reading. * School Reading List *Let's hope the young people who read this brilliant book pass it on to their parents.

Compelling, gutsy and important, Crossing the Line is a stunning debut. * Lucy Cuthew, author of Blood Moon *Moving and compelling. * Louisa Reid, author of Wrecked *I loved every moment - I could not put it down.

Eye opening, compelling, and with characters I deeply care about. This is a book that will make a real difference. * Zana Fraillon author of The Way of Dog *Crossing the Line is a very exciting and engaging read...the book does a brilliant job exploring the idea of how one small choice can have a domino effect and spiral into massive consequences. Erik is a great protagonist, really feeling for him as he battles hardship after hardship, all in the hope of helping his struggling family. The writing is super accessible and the creativity in the shape of the poetry really makes this book stand out. It's a well-paced story that will make it all too easy to "just read one more page... I know this book will appeal to a wide range of readers, suitable for 12+ years -- Ruth Ennis * Children's Books Ireland *I found myself totally immersed into Erik's world and the decisions he had to make. An incredibly powerful and poignant verse novel with themes of friendship, empathy, guilt & love. Totally compelling & engaging. * Jenny Hawke, Bromley Libraries *An incredible book which focuses on county lines - definitely one to share with students, staff and parents. * Shorny Malcolmson, PiXL Reading. *Urgent, intelligent and heart-breaking. . . would make a terrific graphic novel. . . I hope it will be widely read in schools up and down the UK. * Matthew Fox, author of The Sky Over Rebecca *A fantastic YA verse novel that is brutally honest. * Book Riot *A gripping verse novel that tells the story of Erik and how he gets sucked into the underworld of crime, drugs and county lines in order to help his family. I loved the playing with layout in this book and the sparse writing style makes it very accessible. Based on a true story, it is packed with voice and emotion. Ages 13+ * Irish Independent *Fisher researched the issue of county lines thoroughly and her book pulls no punches in both educating and warning, helping to raise the profile of this callous exploitation of children * Books For Keeps *Tia Fisher's debut novel is pure brilliance. * Just Imagine *a memorable story...highly recommended * The School Reading List *
