Colwyn Bay, 1980. Sixteen-year-old Tamilola has moved up from London; everything’s different, everyone belongs except her. Then she discovers an amazing Northern Soul club at the end of the pier with its athletic dancers and rare records. But conflict comes with a rival nightclub. This book’s about finding your tribe, finding a record, finding romance and finding yourself.
Patience Agbabi was born in London and spent her teenage years dancing to Northern Soul and live ska bands on the pier in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. She’s written four books of poetry including Telling Tales, a lively and critically acclaimed retelling of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and has performed her work all over the world. She loves sharing her inspirations in schools and universities and in 2020 she launched The Leap Cycle, a middle-grade time-travel quartet. The first book of that series, The Infinite, won the Wales Book of the Year: Children & Young People category in 2021. Patience still has all her original vinyl and regularly enjoys the Northern Soul scene in Kent, London and beyond.
