A powerful verse novel for readers aged 12+
“We absolutely loved this powerful, lyrical novel in verse. Hugely moving, packed with empathy and a cast of characters we were rooting for from page one, Wild East is easily one of the best things we've read this year and was an easy pick for our Macaw subscribers."~Sarah
When fourteen-year-old Ronny’s life is struck by tragedy, his mum decides it’s finally time they move out of London.
In his new city, as a Black teenager in a mostly white school, Ronny feels like a complete outsider and struggles to balance keeping his head down with his ambition of becoming a rapper.
But when a local poet comes into class, Ronny discovers a world he’s never considered before. Rap is like spoken word, bars equal poetry – and maybe the combination of both could be the key to achieving his dreams?
Ashley Hickson-Lovence is a poet, novelist and university lecturer with a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of East Anglia. His second novel Your Show was longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards.
The activity pack includes stickers, book club-style questions to ponder and a welcome note from Ashley Hickson-Lovence. There’s also a music-inspired word puzzle to solve and a recipe for fortune cookies to enjoy, alongside jokes and further reading recommendations.

We are a monthly book subscription by post for children aged 5 to 14, focused on helping families discover new and different chapter books.
This title was sent to subscribers in the Macaw reading group, aged roughly 12 to 14, who need books that feel grown-up but aren’t quite ready for all young adult books.
