Kwame Alexander

Kwame Alexander reads from his graphic novel, Booked!

Twelve-year-old Nick is a football-mad boy who absolutely hates books.

Football, family, love, and friendship take centre stage as Nick tries to figure out how to navigate his parents’ break-up, stand up to bullies, and impress the girl of his dreams.

These challenges – which seem even harder than scoring a tie-breaking, game-winning goal – change his life, as well as his best friend’s.

Booked by Kwame Alexander features on the Summer Reading Challenge 2023 book collection!
