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 Dré are forced to evacuate their high-rise tower 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 unity to save his community.
Ashley Hickson-Lovence's debut YA verse-novel Wild East won the YA Diverse Book Award 2025, the Two Cities Book Award 2024, the Mal Peet Children's Award 2024 and the East Anglian Book of the Year 2024. It was nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Writing 2025 and shortlisted and longlisted for multiple more prizes.
