Asboville is Danny Rhodes’ first novel and a Waterstone’s Book of the Year. Teenager JB struggles with both his own destructive impulses and an ASBO, neither innocent nor entirely to blame for the trouble he gets into… Tackling controversial issues without preaching, the author has drawn on his experiences as an English teacher and poses important questions about social justice while also telling a compellingly human story.

A workshop with the author is being held earlier in the day for Key Stage 4 pupils (places by invitation only).
