I catch a glimpse of its matted fur; a screeching hiss pierces the night air as it encounters a mammal in the undergrowth.

“a sense of belonging” is a book that nobody should miss! It provides students with the opportunity to examine different writing models and techniques while raising their awareness of different issues such as racial discrimination and racial abuse.
