patchworkbunny reviewed Run, Riot by Nikesh Shukla
Review of 'Run, Riot' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Run, Riot is Nikesh Shukla's first young adult novel, set in a tower block in an un-named UK city (but I think it's Bristol). The action takes place in the 24 hours following the murder of a youth by the police, with a group of friends trying to flee the tower and release the evidence. It tackles themes of gentrification and corruption as well as racism and it was great to see this from a British perspective.
