A tender coming-of-age story set in 1960s London that explores childhood innocence confronting prejudice through the lens of cricket and cross-cultural friendship.

David Wiseman is eleven years old and mad about cricket. He has all the kit but none of the skill. When a Jamaican family moves in next door the father starts giving cricket lessons to David, and becomes close to David's mother. But this is 1960's London, and when the locals start making life difficult for the new arrivals, David has to choose between fitting in and standing up for his new friends.
