The Boy With A Pound In His Pocket by Jade Akoum
The true story of a scholarship pupil at Manchester Grammar school who was stabbed in the heart by one of his friends. Just four months after Yousef was killed, a jury found his friend not guilty of murder or manslaughter.
Jade Akoum: Shy and introverted, Jade never expected to be the face of a nationwide knife crime campaign looking down the lenses of the national and international press.
A full-time housewife and a busy stay at home mother of four, she never craved attention nor sought the spotlight, preferring instead to dedicate her life to caring for her family.
Then her life was turned upside down when her younger brother, Yousef was stabbed to death. She supported her mother, Debbie Makki, who spearheaded a campaign for justice for her son. Following Debbie's death in May 2020, Jade found herself alone
in the glare of the world's media.
Jade has written this book with the Sunday Times bestselling authors Ann and Joe Cusack. Their previous titles include 'The Convent' and 'Silent Sisters' also published by Mirror Books.
