An innocent night out to celebrate a sixteenth birthday turns to tragedy in this powerful story of racial intolerance from award-winning author Bali Rai. It’ s Arjan’ s sixteenth birthday and he’ s celebrating with his mates – going to see a film and then get a Nando’ s. He’ s looking forward to some good banter and wondering what might happen with Jem, who’ s been looking at him differently these days … But the night comes to a dramatic and violent end when Arjan is targeted by a group of racist thugs, who single him out due to the colour of his skin and the turban that he wears, a symbol of his commitment to his faith and culture. Is the life of a good friend and beloved son really worth so little?
