Georgie's dad, George Smith, is a highly controversial politician trying to throw non-white people out of London's East End. Everyone assumes Georgie shares his father's views — especially his father. But while Georgie loves his dad, he's really not sure what he thinks. And then he begins to hear a voice in his head, the voice of a Muslim girl called Fatima: "My name is Fatima, I know you can hear me . . ." Fatima is reaching out to children in difficult situations, but as she and Georgie begin to communicate someone tries to kill his father. He responds by planning a repeat of the historical Battle of Cable Street, when Fascists demonstrating against Jewish immigrants confronted local people. Can the mysterious Fatima and her gang stop George, and which side will Georgie be on? From the acclaimed author of Ghostscape, this incisive, gripping story helps children understand issues of racism and immigration.
