Orangeboy tells the story of a 16-year-old boy, Marlon, who faces an impossible choice after a date ends tragically. He finds himself caught up in London's gang culture, despite not wanting to follow the same path as his older brother, Andre. Described as a 'coming of age urban thriller', this novel has also also been shortlisted for the Best Crime Novel for Young Adults, the Costa Book Awards for children 2016 and has won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Older Readers.
Orangeboy is on our wish list so look out for a copy in the War Memorial Library very soon. In the meantime, check out Alex Wheatle's brilliant Crongton series of books including Liccle Bit and Crongton Knights.
