Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow

A well told, honest story about the hidden (and often ignored) issues some young people in our society are dealing with everyday. Heart breaking and heart warming in equal measures. A book that should be read by every teenager. 

Stevie is a (friendless) young career, struggling with her Mum’s depression, poverty and school life who meets a young Syrian refugee - Hafiz. Hafiz has his own struggles, forced to flee Syria (alone - leaving his home, family and friends behind) to endure the arduous and life threatening journey to his Aunt and Uncle in the UK. 

These two ordinary teenagers, forced together at school, find a friendship they were not expecting. Each has a passion - Stevie with her love of music and Hafiz with his love of football. Despite their differences and (until the end) not truly understanding the others struggles, their friendship gives them each a glimpse of what happiness is. 

I would highly recommend this poignant story to all young adults
