Description
Innocent until proven guilty? Not here, you're not.
He's fifteen.
He's hasn't done anything wrong.
It was supposed to be just a trip to visit his mum's family in Pakistan. But for Khalid Ahmed, it was the beginning of a living nightmare. He's kidnapped-then taken to a place thousands of miles from his home in the UK. A place where torture and terror are the daily routine. A place he may never be allowed to leave ...
A place called Guantanamo Bay.
Anna Perera was born in London to an Irish mother and Sri Lankan father. After spending a few years teaching English in secondary schools, she took a job running an alternative school program for teenage boys. Guantanamo Boy is her first young adult novel; her second, The Glass Collector, is forthcoming in Spring 2012. She lives in London, England.
