'A book meant to be heard . . . It's the fresh, "spoken word" style that makes Ronny's story' The Times
Pen in one hand, on my wrist, a ticking clock
I've got to make this work, just need a little luck . . .
When fourteen-year-old Ronny's life is struck by tragedy, his mum decides it's finally time they move out of East London.
In his new city, as a Black teenager in a mostly white school, Ronny feels like a complete outsider and struggles to balance keeping his head down with his ambition of becoming a rapper.
But when a local poet comes into class, Ronny discovers a world he's never considered before. Rap is like spoken word, bars equal poetry - and maybe the combination of both could be the key to achieving his dreams?
