'My name is Jackson Jones. I stood and watched a teacher die . . . I didn't panic, I just froze. My whole body actually went numb. They say the brain is like a computer - well, my computer crashed.'

Teacher's Dead

i won’t lie this book kind of disappointed me - it sounded like such a good story and concept but just fell flat for me with the actual writing which is SUCH a shame as I remember absolutely loving ‘Face’ in school. maybe it is because i’m older now i’m not sure but it just didn’t grab me like i would have hoped

For young people dealing with ideas in a post-truth world, Benjamin Zephaniah's story of violence, truth and the media is as powerful and pertinent as when it was first published. A teacher is dead, murdered by two of his students in front of the whole school. Right in front of Jackson Jones.But Mr Joseph was a good man - people liked him, respected him. How could those boys stab him and jog away like nothing had happened?Unable to process what he has seen, Jackson begins his own investigation: everyone knows who did it, but as Jackson uncovers more about the boys, he becomes convinced that people need to understand why. Brilliantly written and with a real ear for dialogue, fans of Angie Thomas and Malorie Blackman will love Benjamin Zephaniah's novels for young adult readers: Refugee BoyFaceGangsta RapTeacher's Dead
