Frankie is entranced by the girl in the red skirt, the gypsy from Romania who speaks no English. It is a terrible shock to him when his neighbours on the estate react violently against Emilia's people, and what's worse is that it's his mother leading the protest.

Review:

"¿a powerful novel about exclusion and belonging." (Books for Keeps)

"¿this exceptional novel explores issues of racial hatred and intolerance, highlighting some important topical issues and provides much food for thought." (Booktrusted News (Booktrust), Winter 2002)
