Sunny is seventeen, isolated and disconnected in a city he’s just moved to, when a racist attack pushes him to join a local boxing club to learn to protect himself. There he finds the community he’s been quietly craving, and a mentor in trainer Shobu, who helps him find his place in the world. Told across the ten rounds of Sunny’s first fight, the story turns darker as racial tensions rise in the city – and when a Far Right march through Bristol turns violent, Sunny risks losing his new best friend Keir to radicalisation.
A gripping, life-affirming YA novel about friendship, radicalisation and finding where you belong.
