This crossed my desk in a pile of new releases yesterday and, as I do, started to thumb through. Next thing I know, I'm absolutely tearing through this. It's quickly entering my Best Books of 2021 pile. This is so much more than just a book - it's a wonderful history and celebration of black music and musicians in Britain, a cracking playlist, and critical observation of the state of our nation. We're always on the look out for non-fiction for KS3 (a chronically under-provisioned age group when it comes to factual content) and this is such a perfect fit to keep them engaged. SO excited to get kids reading this.
