    As a child who grew up in Auckland in the 80s, some of the descriptions of the city and many references in this compelling novel were familiar to me. However, the hardship that the 11-year-old narrator, Obi, experiences is far removed from my own sheltered upbringing. There's so much to like about Obi and I got completely caught up in his story. As this is Hoey's third novel, I am looking forward to reading his other books.

    A powerful and heartbreaking read about how a single decision can change the course of a life.
