What is a terrorist? A shocking, moving and timely novel about the choices that shape us.

Rico knows trouble. He knows the look of it and the sound of it. He also knows to stay away from it as best he can. Because if there's one thing his Romany background has taught him, it's that he will always be a suspect.

Despite his efforts to stay on the right side of the law, Rico is angry and frustrated at the injustices he sees happening at home and around the world. He wants to do something - but what? When he is approached by Speech, a mysterious man who shares Rico's hacktivist interests, Rico is given the perfect opportunity to speak out. After all, what harm can a peaceful cyber protest do...?

From the bestselling author of REFUGEE BOY comes a powerful novel about justice, trust and idealism gone wrong that will make you look again at your definition of a terrorist.

Benjamin Zephaniah was born and raised in Handsworth, Birmingham. By the age of fifteen he had gained a reputation as a young poet who was capable of speaking out on local and international issues. His poetry was strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he called 'street politics'. He was also a musician and the first person to record with the Wailers after the death of Bob Marley. As well as writing poetry, novels, screenplays and stage plays, he has also written and presented documentaries for television and radio, and he has been awarded nineteen honorary doctorates in recognition of his work. Benjamin died on 7th December 2023, leaving a joyful legacy of literature for people of all ages.
