Description

This book has great teen appeal. Be prepared to read it in one sitting as you will not want to put this book down! The Orange Boy Ergo (aka OBE) is our take on a super budget ergo / Alice-like kit. Not everyone has hundreds of dollars to spend on something they might not enjoy. We went with a layout that includes arrow keys since most people need them. There’s also 3 macro keys on the left hand side but you could have a knob and 2 macro keys instead.

Orangeboy by Patrice Lawrence (9781444927207/Paperback

Danuta Kean, "Waterstones children's prize shortlists reflect readers' search for hope in anxious times", The Guardian, 8 February 2017.Marlon promised his mother that he would have nothing to do with drugs, but when he falls under Sonya’s spell, keeping that promise suddenly becomes a lot more difficult. There are four Pet Food types that Pets can consume: type 1, type 2, type 3, and monster food. Corpses can be consumed by the Orange Boy if its hunger is anywhere between 70-100%. Corpses will completely feed the Orange Boy and provide 10 happiness. The Orange Boy can only eat Pet Food type 3, which satiates 50% Hunger and increases 5% Happiness. Honestly I’d be quite happy do go and push this book at so many people with the above (and I’m still mad at myself for taking so long to read Orangeboy). Especially because I adore the two main female characters in this book so much, Tish and Marlon’s mother. At times I could have just shaken Marlon for not realising what these women were doing but that leads to spoilers and I most certainly don’t want to spoil anything about this book for anyone.

Orangeboy by Patrice Lawrence | Hachette UK

Not cool enough, not clever enough, not street enough for anyone to notice me. I was the kid people looked straight through. NOT ANY MORE. NOT SINCE MR ORANGE. Sixteen-year-old Marlon has made his mum a promise - he'll never follow his big brother, Andre, down the wrong path. So far, it's been easy, but when a date ends in tragedy, Marlon finds himself hunted. They're after the mysterious Mr Orange, and they're going to use Marlon to get to him. Marlon's out of choices - can he become the person he never wanted to be, to protect everyone he loves?

Also available as an audiobook, narrated by Ben Bailey Smith. [18] This book is so important. Not only is it full of diverse characters, but it explores a life of gang violence that many young people in London fall into and find it incredibly hard to escape. and I've never read anything like it.
