Sinossi
Newly arrived from Ghana with his mother and older sister, Harrison Opoku lives on the ninth floor of a block of flats on a London housing estate. The (second) best runner in the whole of Year 7, Harri races through his new life in his personalised trainers - the Adidas stripes drawn on in marker pen - unaware of the danger growing around him.
But when a boy is knifed to death on the high street and a police appeal for witnesses draws only silence, Harri decides to start a murder investigation of his own. In doing so, he unwittingly breaks the fragile web his mother has spun around her family to keep them safe.
Harri will come face to face with the very real dangers surrounding him. A powerful, unforgettable tale, importantly relevant for young adult readers of today.
Includes a Q&A with the author, Stephen Kelman, and a piece about what inspired him to write Pigeon English.

This is a book which needs to be read and discussed in years 10 and above (School Librarian)
Pigeon English would be on the curriculum. This is an extraordinary book. Everyone should read it (Interview with Kate Humble, 'What she would change about the world if she was Queen' Stylist)
