Rap battles form a key part of the plot, but really this is a story of friendship between two boys, one of whom (Kofi) is a energetic wannabee-entrepreneur, the other (Kelvin) held back despite a photographic memory by his stutter and shyness. Using Kofi’s sales patter and his best friend Kelvin’s excellent memory, the boys create Paper Jam, a fanzine of song lyrics – and the buzz at school is unreal. Kofi and the Rap Battle Summer tells the story of a boy growing up in the 1990s on a housing estate in London.And although Kofi’s scheme at the arcade is also making money, he’s having issues with Leroy, a new friend who’s mean to Kelvin. Talk to a member of staff at the auditorium entrance if you have a disability that means you can’t queue, or you need extra time to take your seat. These books aimed at 11-13 year olds contain themes around friendships and overcoming a variety of challenges, as well as starting at a new school. But the latest venture doesn’t make Kofi popular with the teachers, who find him using the school photocopier for Paper Jam.

While it worked fine, it felt a little disjointed and the rule of 'show don't tell' of exposition was broken a few times, some things didn't need explaining to the audience who could have worked things out for themselves.Jeffrey Boakye is an author, broadcaster, educator and journalist with a particular interest in issues surrounding race, masculinity, education and popular culture. The chapters are very short, meaning it feels accessible, and even though it’s set in the 90s, readers will recognise the playground and family dynamics and the realities of life living on an estate. From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer. It’s the 1990s, everyone at school loves music, but the likes of Smash Hits magazine never have the lyrics of TLC, Mary J.

Kofi spots both an opportunity and a gap in the market when he finds Kelvin can memorise lyrics to popular songs other kids want to learn, and a surreptitious magazine is born. He’s always on the lookout for ways to earn some extra money, but can he sell a music magazine at school and stay out of trouble? Of course, problems must ensue for the plot - and tests of friendship loyalty, local bullies, his uncle and girlfriend moving in all vie for a place in the story.Jeffrey Boakye's ode to words perfectly blends a riotous classroom romp, a warm celebration of friendship and a subtle social message. You won’t be able to bring any bags over 40 x 25 x 25cm into the Queen Elizabeth Hall, so please leave large bags at home.
