 * Keep This novel by Benjamin Zephaniah meets our notability guideline for books because it has been described in reliable, independent sources such as Narrative and Identity, where the novel receives four pages of detailed analysis; The Routledge guide to modern English writing: Britain and Ireland, which mentions the novel in a discussion of the author's career; and The Ultimate Teen Book Guide which contains a brief review; Developing Skills in Reading which uses a long passage from the book as an exercise in literary analysis. In addition, the novel has been adapted into a play by Richard Conlon.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  02:22, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found some reviews on top of this and there's enough out there to show that this book is heavily used in classrooms. For example, the source I found about the play is a teaching resource and this link from the BBC is for educational purposes and uses an excerpt from the book. The article certainly needs improvement, but it is notable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:48, 22 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
