| book description |

The moving true story of 7 young kids and their struggle to escape a life of gangs and violence. â€˜Eight years old. Thatâ€™s when life went downhill. From eight years old nobody looked after me. I just lived on the street and made do by myself. There was no one except me and my friends.â€™ Simon This is the story of Elijah (JaJa), Simon (Phat Si), â€˜Bloodsâ€™, Nathan (Inch), Michael (Birdie), Byron (Ribz), and Darren (Tempman). These 7 young boys each have one thing in common â€“ they grew up on the Angell Town estate, south London. Phat Si comes home from school one day to find his mother gone, so he takes to the streets. Heâ€™s 8 years old. JaJa looks out of his kitchen window and sees drug dealers, pimps and whores. Overwhelmed by what he sees, JaJa slowly descends from petty theft to life as a kid in a street gang. Ribzâ€™s mother sells crack and is sent to prison. He doesnâ€™t know who his father is but is drawn to Angell Town, knowing that his dad has an unknown number of kids living on the estate. Heâ€™s determined to find some kind of family. Street Boys tells a powerful and important true story of courage, determination and hope â€“ of creating a family from your friends and starting again when the world seems against you.
