The Upper World by Femi Fadugba
5.0

Fast paced sci-fi time travel thriller, set amongst the arch rival gangs of Brixton and Peckham, thrown together by the shared catchment area of their secondary school.

During an increasingly bad week, Esso finds himself involved in a car crash trying to save a young boy's life, and at the same time discovering he can see into the future

15 years later, Rhia is a promising footballer being brought up in care and receiving tuition from Esso. Inspired by his maths and physics teaching, Rhia becomes more and more drawn into the science as they realise they can help each other.
