History & the past: general interest (Children's&YA); Personal & social issues: racism & multiculturalism (Children's&YA)

A rejacketed, revised edition. This remains the only children's book in the market that celebrates the life of Stephen Lawrence.

Stephen Lawrence was a bright, athletic, young man with high hopes for the future. He lived in south-east London with his parents, younger brother and younger sister. On 22 April 1993, he was brutally murdered while he was waiting for the bus. He was eighteen years old.

He didn't know his killers; his killers didn't know him.

This is his story. He will be remembered.

This paperback edition revised with added material about the trial, the legacy of Stephen Lawrence and a final note from Doreen Lawrence.
