“Good for Nothing is a brilliant book packed with empathy and a diverse cast of characters that young readers will really relate to. It's a moving celebration of community and friendship.”
~Sarah
When three teens are landed with community service together, their lives and stories start to converge.
Amir is the angry boy who won't talk about the brother he lost - but he won't let his name be forgotten either.
Eman is the awkward girl whose favourite evenings are spent at home watching TV with her Nani.
Kemi is the determined athlete who knows she deserves as good a shot as anyone else - if only she can get to the starting line.
As they become closer, they discover some unexpected truths about each other, themselves - and the death of Amir's beloved older brother...
Mariam Ansar is a Bradford-born writer and secondary English teacher. She has written for NME, gal-dem, Teen Vogue amongst others. Good for Nothing is her debut book for young readers.
The activity pack includes an exclusive signed book plate, stickers, book club-style questions to ponder and a welcome note from Mariam Ansar. There’s also a word puzzle to solve and a recipe for jalebi, a delicious South Asian snack, alongside jokes and further reading recommendations.
