Synopsis

Jit's in trouble at school. He's always late - and often skips altogether. The teachers are on to him, and so are his mates. What's he playing at? But Jit's got serious problems at home. He's dealing with his mum, who hasn't had the energy to cook or wash for him since she got back with Micky, her boyfriend, who Jit can't stand. Micky leaches off his mum, and bullies Jit when she's not looking. Jit is constantly tired and angry, and his clothes are beginning to smell. But if he tells his friends, he's going to look like a sadcase, right? Wrong. As soon as Grace and Dean get wind of what's going on, they make it clear that he's not going through this alone. But first he needs to come clean with the school - before he gets excluded. Then the gang are going to deal with mad Micky, once and for all....

About the Author

Bali Rai was working in a bar in Leicester while he wrote his first novel, Unarranged Marriage, which went on to receive great critical acclaim and three awards after Random House published it. RH went on to commission two more books from him and he has since gone from strength to strength. His second teen novel The Crew, published in 2003, and his follow up, Rani and Sukh was published in 2004.Bali's enthusiasm and interest in his readers, takes him all over the country, talking to children in schools, testing out his latest writing and gathering feedback. His authentic voice, accessible writing style and subtle deadpan humour give his books a real credibility and his voice a true 21st Century quality. Bali is currently working on his series for younger readers, Tales from Devana High, the first of which, Concrete Chips, was published in June 2004.
