"In a city where people are divided into Permitteds and Nons, music-loving Adam and his younger sister Leila must navigate the dangers of being second-class citizens and decide how to stand up for their rights."-- - HARPERCOLL
A powerful novel by Carnegie Medalâwinning author Beverley Naidoo that is in turns heart-wrenching, infuriating, and inspiringâand at its core, a call to readers to make a better world than they have found.
Adam and his sister, Leila, are Nonsâsecond-class citizens, living under the Permitted ruling class. Though their life in the Stone City is filled with family, stories, and music, they must carefully follow the rules, have all paperwork on hand, and never, ever do anything to anger a Permitted. When their father unexpectedly dies, they are even restricted in how they are allowed to grieve.     Â
Soon, Adam and Leila are back to school and practicing music again. But when Adamâs friend Zak plays a bold prank on a group of Permitted boys, and Adam is implicated in Zakâs âcrime,â Adam knows their lives will never be the same again.
