The Boxer | 
pickNikesh Shukla‘s contemporary YA novel is an interesting look at racism and how boxing can give a person discipline, confidence and self-respect but while it‘s interesting to have a book look at white extremist radicalisation, Keir‘s character and motivation is underdeveloped as is his friendship with Sunny and I never bought into why Sunny wanted to save him, which is a shame because there‘s a lot that‘s good about this book and it‘s worth a look.
