him. So how could this happen? Why? It just doesn't

investigate the case until he understands. Benjamin
Zephaniah has, once again, chosen a topical and hard-
hitting subject.

parent to their child… With Alem – and his family – Benjamin

happens to him, maintains a shining spirit of courage
throughout.
