A Crongton Story Series

by
(9 reviews)

For readers that prefer stories rooted in everyday life and realistic characters, this award-winning YA series by Alex Wheatle is a brilliant option and does not need to be read in any particular order. 

Each book in the series focuses on a different character living in South Crongton Estate, where gang war games must be carefully navigated and life is a constant hustle. Each book is an empathetic look into the lives and struggles of the young people living on the estate, the lengths they must go to to make ends meet and the power of friendship, family and holding on to dreams.

If you enjoy these books, we also recommend these by the same author: Cane Warriors, The Humiliations of Welton Blake and Home Girl.

All the A Crongton Story books in order:

Book 1: Liccle Bit (2015)
Book 2: Crongton Knights (2016)
Book 3: Straight Outta Crongton (2017)
Book 4: In The Ends (2023)
