Looked After - Ashley John-Baptiste

But mainly it''s a beautiful and fascinating and enlightening portrait of the care system, a world that is barely understood by many of us. It is also a proper page turner: the twists and turns and set-backs of his childhood are as gripping as they are shocking. I genuinely couldn''t put it down. This story is more urgent and relevant now than ever.'' - XAND VAN TULLEKEN WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:''What a powerful read, there are no words really to describe the impact it has had on me.'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''I couldn''t put this down and read it in two days.
