From Kathleen, Joe's hairdressing auntie, to Mr Sinclair, who becomes more and more important to the boys, to Jammy, an unpredictable cousin with a violent streak - everyone is a rounded individual.If both boys were as good at football as the novel tells us they’d most likely already be attached to a club and probably not allowed to play for anyone else. A gripping tale about two boys who must find their own answers – and their own way forward – in a world divided by differences. And a lot of those projects, like Detroit’s much-heralded Q Line, actually have more to do with promoting redevelopment through real estate investment than with moving people around. Most suited for preteens, as a teacher I can see this being used as a wonderful teaching aid to discuss the need for kindness and compassion throughout all of lives interactions.

The Divided City is imperative for anyone who cares about cities and who wants to understand how to make today’s urban revival work for everyone.Often this is based on misconceptions and, frankly, pure laziness in those who accept the soundbites and the status quo and don't look under the headlines. And yet, most of the attention — and the funding — goes not to buses, but to their far more glamorous cousins, light rail and trolleys. How far as a school community do we challenge bigotry, prejudice and discrimination towards members, or presumed members, of a religious denomination?
