Kicked Out is the much-anticipated sequel to Boy, Everywhere and follows on from my World Book Day title Boot It! Kicked Out is a story about rejection, finding your self-worth, friendship, family, loyalty and belonging.
 
Kicked Out finds Ali and Sami living their dream, playing football for the school team and hanging out in their friend Mark’s new luxury pool. But money goes missing and racism rears its ugly head when their friend Aadam is accused of the theft. Can the boys prove Aadam’s innocence, keep their friendship –and help fight Aadam’s threatened deportation?

Meanwhile Ali’s dad is back in the neighbourhood. Can Ali navigate his emotions and stay focused now his dad is back and his half-brother has joined his school? Early readers have praised (reviews below) Kicked Out for tackling important themes unflinchingly and honestly, while displaying emotional sensitivity.
