But it’s Not Fair
The debut novel by Aneeta Prem
With PSHE Association accredited lesson plans
Synopsis
Sofia and Vinny are sisters who live in the East End of London. Vinny, 15, knows she’s a bit of a freak because she loves school; she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. Sofia, 10, loves bling and celebrities and wants to be on the cover of the glossy magazines.
She thinks most things in life are just ‘not fair’. She doesn’t have a laptop or even a mobile phone, and she has to share a room with Vinny. Vinny’s safe world is turned upside down when Abby Kambi and her very traditional family move into the neighbourhood. Vinny and Abby quickly become best friends and Vinny starts to see how different life could be for her. Abby and her family go abroad to her cousin Sarina’s wedding in the summer holidays and Abby doesn’t return to school.
Vinny and even spoilt brat, Sofia realise that there are far bigger issues than makeup, Facebook and getting your homework in on time. What would you do if your best friend went on holiday and didn’t come back again? Would you turn a blind eye or would you stand up and shout ‘but it’s not fair’ until somebody listened?
