What is a terrorist? A shocking, moving and timely novel about the choices that shape us.

Rico knows trouble. He knows the look of it and the sound of it. He also knows to stay away from it as best he can. Because if there's one thing his Romany background has taught him, it's that he will always be a suspect.

Despite his efforts to stay on the right side of the law, Rico is angry and frustrated at the injustices he sees happening at home and around the world. He wants to do something - but what? When he is approached by Speech, a mysterious man who shares Rico's hacktivist interests, Rico is given the perfect opportunity to speak out. After all, what harm can a peaceful cyber protest do...?

From the bestselling author of REFUGEE BOY comes a powerful novel about justice, trust and idealism gone wrong that will make you look again at your definition of a terrorist.

Reviews for Terror Kid
A powerful novel about justice, trust and idealism gone wrong that will make you look again at your definition of a terrorist.
Labour Research
A powerful, accessible and revelatory novel with its finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary social and political issues.
Liverpool Echo
This book in my view is amazing. In some ways, the book is emotional and some readers may find it upsetting. It is a thriller that keeps you interested. If you are interested in action or thrillers, this book is perfect for you
Teen Titles
Terror Kid takes an uncompromising look at the problems of prejudice in both policing and society and is a timely reminder that skin colour or ethnic background should not be used to determine guilt
