What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

A soaring and emotional debut YA verse-novel, perfect for fans of Dean Atta and Manjeet Mann.


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 music-lover Ronny's life gets messy, his mum decides they're moving out of London.

In Norwich, as a Black teenager in a mostly white school, Ronny feels like a complete outsider. He tries his best to balance keeping his head down, and his goal of becoming a rapper alive.

But when a local poet comes into class, he opens Ronny's world to something new. Rap is like spoken word, lyrics equal poetry - and maybe the combination of both could be the key to Ronny's dreams?
