Have only just realised that Running My Own Race appeared in the June 2025 Black issue of the Bookseller (a bit late, I know). Still feels worth sharing.

My #middlegrade book this week is Abena Eyeson's #RunningMyOwnRace, a lovely story of finding your own identity and standing up for yourself. Kofi is caught between two worlds – which will he choose?
