Product Description
Product Description
Two years after their flight from Nigeria, 14-yr-old Sade, her younger brother Femi and her father are living in a council flat in London, waiting for their claim for asylum to be approved. Sade is upset when Femi is drawn into a violent possibly drug-dealing gang, and even more upset when their father doesn't seem to notice. He's too taken up with his new friend Mrs Wallace, a refugee from Sierra Leone. But when Femi is arrested for murder, and the gang set fire to their flat, the family has to pull together to get through this most difficult time.

Good story shame about the grammar,

This review is from: Web of Lies (Kindle Edition)
A good book which shows just how easy it is for the kids to end up in the wrong type of company.
Shame about the poor grammar, punctuation and capitalization. What happen to the proof reader? Sort it out Penguin.
