New Boy

Arriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomatโ€™s son Osei knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day โ€“ so heโ€™s lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student canโ€™t stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players โ€“ teachers and pupils alike โ€“ will never be the same again.The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard in Tracy Chevalier`s powerful drama of friends torn apart by jealousy, bullying and betrayal.
