He’s always on the lookout for ways to earn some extra money, but can he sell a music magazine at school and stay out of trouble? But when he finds out his best friend Kelvin has a photographic memory, he comes up with a genius money-making scheme.

I was surprised at the narrative decision to have multiple voices each taking paragraphs, sharing the story. Entering the action-packed fun world of Kofi's family and friends through this superbly crafted story will be a joy for all key stage 3 students whatever their preferred genre is.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

The whole school is obsessed with music, no one can ever make out the words, so the boys hit the jackpot selling a new fanzine full of song lyrics: PAPER JAM.

The chapters are very short, meaning it feels accessible, and even though it’s set in the 90s, readers will recognise the playground and family dynamics and the realities of life living on an estate. A Changing Places toilet is located on Level 1 Royal Festival Hall next to the JCB Glass Lift, for the exclusive use of disabled people who need personal assistance to use the toilet. You can also use the external lift near the Artists' Entrance on Southbank Centre Square to reach Mandela Walk, Level 2. But when Damian – now Finn – meets local crime-fighter Star Kid, he questions both what it means to be a villain and to be a hero.Of course, problems must ensue for the plot - and tests of friendship loyalty, local bullies, his uncle and girlfriend moving in all vie for a place in the story. Their staid school is often punishing Kofi for his behaviour, and pupils have started secretly performing battles of words (insults) in breaks, one-upping each other with an audience looking on admiringly. Kofi spots both an opportunity and a gap in the market when he finds Kelvin can memorise lyrics to popular songs other kids want to learn, and a surreptitious magazine is born. Members get the first chance to book our entire programme of events, including go-down-in-history gigs, concerts with world-class orchestras, and talks from cultural icons and political giants.

Ond dydy’r fenter ddim yn gwneud Kofi’n boblogaidd â’r athrawon, sy’n ei ddal yn defnyddio llungopïwr yr ysgol ar gyfer Paper Jam. Tickets can only be sold through the Southbank Centre and our authorised agents, and can't be resold. Rap battles form a key part of the plot, but really this is a story of friendship between two boys, one of whom (Kofi) is a energetic wannabee-entrepreneur, the other (Kelvin) held back despite a photographic memory by his stutter and shyness. While it worked fine, it felt a little disjointed and the rule of 'show don't tell' of exposition was broken a few times, some things didn't need explaining to the audience who could have worked things out for themselves. With lashings of laughter, this rhyming story is full of charm and cheekiness which will enthrall your young reader.Packed with snappy, witty dialogue that crackles off the page, and full of humorous scenes, this is a truly engaging read.
