Here Harrison demonstrates the impact of adults passing on their prejudice to children with humorous effect as Kelman also gives us an insight into a child’s logic, and the manner in which children infer and create based on the information they receive from others.

In short, Harri marries what he has been told about Somalis and what he knows about pirates to create his own narrative.

He who smelt it dealt it. He who denied it supplied it. He who sensed it dispensed it. He who knew it blew it. He who noted it floated it. He who declared it aired it. He who spoke it broke it. He who exposed it composed it. He who blamed it flamed it. (All these are just for farts.)

This quotation is just one example of the importance of knowing who is narrating the text in each specific chapter. These lines appear in a section in which Harri recounts all the things he has learned since coming to school; these are the many ways in which he has learned to declare and attribute blame for someone farting!

Newly arrived from Ghana with his mother and older sister, eleven-year-old Harrison Opoku lives on the ninth floor of a block of flats on an inner-city housing estate. The second best runner in the whole of Year 7, Harri races through his new life in his personalised trainers – the Adidas stripes drawn on with marker pen – blissfully unaware of the very real threat all around him.

With equal fascination for the local gang – the Dell Farm Crew – and the pigeon who visits his balcony, Harri absorbs the many strange elements of his new life in England: watching, listening, and learning the tricks of urban survival.

But when a boy is knifed to death on the high street and a police appeal for witnesses draws only silence, Harri decides to start a murder investigation of his own. In doing so, he unwittingly endangers the fragile web his mother has spun around her family to try and keep them safe.
