Description
Reviews
"Kids will tune in to this book's clear message about appearances." --Publishers Weekly
"A worthy subject that should give kids plenty to think about." -Kirkus Reviews
"This book will not only be enjoyed by teen readers for its entertaining story, but also for its statement about prejudice. Zephaniah is not just telling a story of a brave and inspiring young man, he is also teaching readers an important lesson through the voice of Martin." -VOYA
Also available in hardcover
ISBN: 1-58234-774-3 Price: $15.95

Reviews
-
A brilliant first novel
Guardian on FACE
-
A lively and positive account of a boy who is badly scarred in a joyriding crash, and how he comes to terms with it ... incredibly well told
Irish Times on FACE
-
An impressive debut, carefully researched ... Zephaniah writes wonderfully natural dialogue with the same ease as he spins out rhyming couplets
Herald on FACE
-
The playful, obstinate and courageously humorous tone of Zephaniah's writing shines through ... hilarious and later heartbreaking
Alfred Hickling, Guardian on REFUGEE BOY
-
Sweet, funny, highly inventive
Yorkshire Post on REFUGEE BOY
-
Humour and innocence are both to the fore as is a sweetness of tone ... more street than poetic, and personal yet universal, Refugee Boy is well told by impassioned writer
York Press on REFUGEE BOY
