My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal

3.0

(DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of this book for free as part of Sheffield Hallam University's Big Read campaign for the 2019/20 academic year)

This book tells the story of a young boy who’s been passed around different foster parents because of his unwell mum eventually getting some form of closure towards the end.

At times it can be totally heartbreaking, including for instance a scene involving police brutality towards Leon and friends he has made from going to a local allotment.
