Misfit

A warm-hearted take on black identity in modern Britain by debut author, Kimberly Redway. George Turner is a misfit. He doesn't fit in with his family and his older brothers are trying to make sure that he's an outsider at his new school. He'll never be cool and he'll never get the girl... or will he?

Produced in association with reading experts at Catch Up , a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties. Book band: Grey
