Face - Benjamin Zephaniah

After a night in a local rap club, Martin has an accident while joyriding. Destroying his face, Martin finds himself in a world where prejudice, pain and hatered and is forced to see the world from a new angle.

The story hits you hard and you can really relate to Martin but at the same time it makes you question your own predjudices. A brilliant book from the writer of 'Refugee Boy'.

Holes - Louis Sachar


Stanley Yelnat's family has a history of bad luck going back generations, so he is not too surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre. Nor is he very surprised when he is told that his daily labour at the camp is to dig a hole, five foot wide by five foot deep, and report anything that he finds in that hole. The warden claims that it is character building, but this is a lie and Stanley must dig up the truth.
