Books like Black sheep by Na'ima Bint Robert


Seventeen‑year‑old Dwayne lives on the edge of a rough street, surrounded by friends Trigger and Jukkie and a dangerous gang that pulls him deeper into crime. When he meets the bright, university‑bound Misha, their unlikely connection offers a glimmer of hope. Yet Misha’s mother warns her that Dwayne is trouble, and her disapproval makes love feel forbidden. As Misha follows her heart, secrets unravel: Dwayne’s identity is a lie, and the gang’s violence grips the town tighter. The story follows Dwayne’s struggle to change while keeping his darkness hidden from Misha, set against a vivid backdrop of gang life and adolescent longing.
