Dead Ends is the next electrifying YA verse-novel by Carnegie-nominated author and poet Ashley Hickson-Lovence.
There are stories within these storeys...
Something is going down at Singer Court.
Something big.
It's Saturday morning and fourteen-year-old Toby "Mastermind" McKenzie and his younger brother Tre are forced to evacuate their block by armed officers.
Set over the course of a single day, this is the nail-bitingly thrilling and poetic tale of a bright young Black boy using the power of courage, friendship and community to save the day.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Ashley Hickson-Lovence is a novelist, poet, literary critic, and Lecturer of Creative Writing.
Wild East is his first YA verse-novel, and was partly inspired by his time as a secondary school English teacher, his own move from London to Norwich, and tutoring a group of asylum seekers at an Arvon retreat. Wild East also weaves in Ashley's love of British hip hop.
Ashley has also written two adult novels, The 392, and Your Show, which was longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards.
