Black 16 year old Nikki is white. 18 year old Samson is black. They both live on the same council estate but Nikki's day to day life is much different to her new friend's, who has just moved in across the street. As Samson and his family experience more and more horrific abuse at the hands of the community, Nikki sees first hand how society's ingrained suspicion and distrust can destroy the lives of anyone deemed to be 'different'.She's Leaving HomeWhilst 16 year old Kelsey's friends are throwing awesome parties and getting to travel all over the world, she find herself increasingly tethered to her home. With caring for her younger brothers and balancing her school work with a job her family desperately needs her to keep, what will happen when Kelsey continues to put everyone else ahead of her own needs?With bracing insight into the worlds of two girls with very different problems, Keith Saha's Black and She's Leaving Home force the issues of modern Britain to take centre stage. This edition was published to coincide with 20 Stories High's national tour of Black in 2017.
