Part of our Black Sheep imprint for young readers.

This isn’t my home. Haven’t had a proper home since . . . This is just somewhere I’ll be resting my bones for a week and maybe a bit. This time next year you’ll forget who I am. I haven’t got a diddly where I’ll be by then. But I’m used to it.

New from the best-selling black British author Alex Wheatle, Home Girl is the story of Naomi, a teenage girl growing up fast in the foster care system. It is a wholly modern story which sheds a much-needed light on what can be an unsettling life—and the consequences that follow when children are treated like pawns on a family chessboard.

Home Girl is fast-paced and funny, tender, tragic, and full of courage—just like Naomi. This is Alex Wheatle’s most moving and personal novel to date.","format",{"_19":29,"_88":111,"_112":113,"_114":47},"publisher","Atom","page_count",280,"duration","published_date","pub_date","April 4","isbn","9780349003252","asin","0349003254","hex_code","#d84858","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/13405i/7a3d36b5-082b-429a-8ff0-881f25481ad4/1792008500.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F13405i%2F7a3d36b5-082b-429a-8ff0-881f25481ad4%2F1792008500.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_104":105,"_106":107},"tags",[85,86],{"_19":99,"_88":100,"_90":101,"_53":-5,"_51":102,"_93":103,"_95":96,"_97":47,"_98":49},{"_19":87,"_88":89,"_90":91,"_53":-5,"_51":92,"_93":94,"_95":96,"_97":47,"_98":49},71,"name","Contemporary","category","setting","contemporary","url","/settings/contemporary","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",26,"Young Adult","genre","young-adult","/genres/young-adult","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_108":49,"_109":49,"_110":49},"yes","no","maybe","Paperback","type","print","audio","South Crongton Quartet","0c948a1f-bad6-47b8-8a24-7c4e2935f6e0","order",{"_19":119,"_88":120,"_51":121,"_122":-5,"_123":-5,"_124":125,"_126":127,"_128":96},"ddd9a65d-11ec-46d3-ac24-e1cca81c1f53","Alex Wheatle","2623-alex-wheatle","biography","image","books_count",5,"roles",[129],"in_catalog","author","isLoggedIn",["P",131],"result","seo",{"_13":141,"_142":143,"_53":144,"_145":146,"_93":147,"_148":149,"_150":151},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_165":47,"_166":47},"jsonLd",{"_152":153,"_154":155,"_88":141,"_156":157,"_158":159,"_93":147},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[160,161,162,163,164],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
