In this heart-stopping adventure, Benjamin Zephaniah
shows us what it was like to be a child of the Windrush generation.
Leonard is shocked when he
arrives with his mother in the port of Southampton. His father is
a stranger to him, it's cold and even the Jamaican
food doesn't taste the same as it did back home in Maroon
Town. But his parents have brought him here to try to make
a better life, so Leonard does his best not to complain,
to make new friends, to do well at school - even
when people hurt him with their words and with their
fists.
How can a boy so
far from home learn to enjoy his new life when so many things
count against him?
