But one student can't stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players - teachers and pupils alike - will never be the same again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s' suburban Washington schoolyard, where kids fall in and out of love with each other before lunchtime, and practise a casual racism picked up from their parents and teachers. Watching over the shoulders of four 11-year-olds - Osei, Dee, Ian and his reluctant girlfriend Mimi - Tracy Chevalier's powerful drama of friends torn apart by jealousy, bullying and betrayal will leave you reeling.","brand":"Chevalier, Tracy","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44760310645026,"sku":"9781781090329","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/chevalier-tracy-tracy-chevalier-new-boy-2017-paperback-9781781090329-1123995762.jpg?v=1738694333","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/new-boy","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
