Kerb-Stain Boys by Alex Wheatle Book Summary
A sharp, witty and heartfelt tale of the ups and downs of teenage life from multi-award-winning Alex Wheatle.
Life on the Crongton estate can be rough for Briggy. Dad's lost his job, Mum's working so hard to make ends meet, and big brother Kingsley just wants out. With all of the shouting and arguing it's difficult not to get lost in the mix. So when his best mate Terror and coolest chick in the year Caldonia, cook up a plan to make a quick buck, Briggy hopes this time it might be his chance to shine. Robbing the Post Office … what could go wrong? A brilliantly real and funny novella of life on one of London's toughest (fictional) estates.
Reviews
“A welcome return to one of London’s toughest estates in a wise, witty urban novella” – The Bookseller

“Wheatle revisits his popular Crongton estate universe with Kerb-Stain Boys … a gripping and quick read for both reluctant and sophisticated readers” – The Irish Times
“This book is a blast of fresh air and will appeal to all types of teenagers, from the booky to absolute reluctants … as always with Alex Wheatle’s writing, there’s a core morality and exploring the real feelings of teenagers honestly” – BookTrust
“This wickedly sharp teen-noir novella ticks all the right boxes for an inspiring read for teens who feel trampled in the wake of this unforgiving world … a compelling, voice-driven narrative packed with action and humour from start to finish” – Common Space
