Dead Ends is the next soaring YA verse-novel by Carnegie-nominated author and poet Ashley Hickson-Lovence.
Something is going down at Singer Court.
Something big.
It's Saturday morning and fourteen-year-old Toby "Mastermind" McKenzie and his younger brother Tré are forced to evacuate their 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 community to save the day.
