Sinopsis

Celebrating cricket, Windrush families & girls in sport
Kerry-Ann loves cricket - of course she does! Her Jamaican grandpa taught her to play as soon as she could hold a bat. Whenever she can, Kerry-Ann heads to the local club for a match with her friends.
But now some of the club's elite cricketers want to keep the ground for themselves - and keep out Kerry-Ann and her team. So Kerry-Ann devises a daring plan to beat the bullies - and she's about to gain inspiration from a very unexpected place.
In this time-slip tale with a touch of magic, Kerry-Ann finds out about the obstacles that her grandparents faced when they first arrived in England as part of the Windrush generation...and how she must follow in their footsteps to fight for fair play, and to keep enjoying the game that both she and her grandparents love.
A celebration of family, friendship, cricket, British Caribbean culture, Black British history and women's sport.

"I loved the use of language and the important aspects of history that I've been educated on…a really powerful portrayal of the horrific racism seen at the time and the bravery of those marching." The Primary Book Box – recommended books for primary teachers

    Charlie O’Reilly is an only child. Which is why it makes everyone uncomfortable when he talks about his brother.  
     
    Liam. His little brother, who, up until a year ago, slept in the bunk above Charlie, took pride in being as annoying as possible, and was the only person who could make Charlie laugh until it hurt. Then came the morning when Liam disappeared  
    forever. No one even remembers him—not Charlie’s mother, who is lost in her own troubles; and not Charlie’s father, who is always gone on business trips. The only person who believes Charlie is his best friend, Ana; even if she has no  
    memory of Liam, she is as determined as Charlie to solve the mystery of his missing brother. 
     
    The search seems hopeless … until Charlie finds a mysterious note, unmistakably written in Liam’s handwriting. And if he and Ana are going to figure out what happened to Liam, they have no choice but to follow its instructions—even if  
    doing so could mean that they, too, might disappear, unremembered, forever.Rebecca K. S. Ansari’s debut is a stunning contemporary fantasy about love, loss, and the power to forgive that we all have inside us—even if we forget that it’s there.
