Synopsis

Caleb is fifteen, bored in school and smarter than most people realise. Growing up in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, he’s tired of lessons that don’t challenge him and a future that feels boxed in. When his childhood friend, Jamie, starts running with a dangerous gang in White City, Caleb is pulled into a world where loyalty, anger and reputation matter more than consequences.
As his behaviour spirals, a devastating loss forces Caleb to confront the truth about who he’s becoming. Guided by the memories of his Grandad – a Windrush generation survivor who taught him pride, history and resilience – and an English teacher who recognises his talent, Caleb discovers that writing might be his way out.
A gripping coming-of-age novel about identity, ambition and finding your voice before it’s silenced.
