Mosi’s War
Cathy MacPhail
Patrick is happy living with his mum. She lets him do what he wants, pretty much, and it’s only when his granny comes to stay that he has to get down to his homework and go to bed early. Then Patrick meets Mosi, a quiet, polite boy who, along with his parents, is waiting for his asylum application to be processed. He discovers Mosi is terrified of someone. But who is it? Patrick and Mosi strike up an unlikely friendship. In trying to help each other, they will face situations that are both terrifying and dangerous. And Patrick will find out that there is much, much more to Mosi than at first appears . . .
A taut, brilliantly written novel that has both pace and topicality that will give much opportunity for discussion and debate.
Reviews
I never thought it would be like a horror story. I usually despise horror stories but this one, I couldn’t pot down - even if it made me scared. I kinda liked it and I recommend it to any horror story lover

I am near the end of this book but have enjoyed it so far. It is about two boys called Patrick and Mosi and when Patrick sees a man commit suicide by jumping from a block of flats across from his home and a mysterious man appears from Mosi's past they become unlikely friends. I think this book is good because a lot of people can relate to the characters, especially if you live in the poorer parts of Glasgow. I recommend this book to people to anyone between the age of 11-15.
