'Bani Adam thinks he's better than us!' they say over and over until finally I shout back, 'Shut up, I have something to say!'
They all go quiet and wait for me to explain myself, redeem myself, pull my shirt out, rejoin the pack. I hold their anticipation for three seconds, and then, while they're all ablaze, I say out loud, 'I do think I'm better.'
As far as Bani Adam is concerned Punchbowl Boys is the arse end of the earth. Though he's a Leb and they control the school, Bani feels at odds with the other students, who just don't seem to care. He is a romantic in a sea of hypermasculinity.
Bani must come to terms with his place in this hostile, hopeless world, while dreaming of so much more.

"An open-eyed and highly charismatic novel broiling with fight, tenderness and ambition." (Big Issue)
"in its vibrancy, its warty candour and willingness to engage with the messy business of people falling out of their known worlds without knowing where to go next, The Lebs is a strong and resonant novel that deserves to be widely read.","There is a fine ironic intelligence glowing beneath the most jarring images, the most awful events.","an open-eyed and highly charismatic novel broiling with fight, tenderness and ambition.","The Lebs provides a confronting and admirably frank examination of one young man's coming of age in contemporary Australia. (Jay Daniel Thompson)","There's an art to capturing the absolute riot that a group of Year 10 boys can cause, and Ahmad has mastered it."
