A nice quick read about a young black boy brought up in the care system。 Heartbreaking in places and some of the behaviours by professionals were unforgivable！

This book gives insight into the care system and how equality has changed over the years， am sure that people may feel that it has not changed enough but at least the care system is there to protect and gives the children a voice now
