Wondrous Oblivion (2003)

Eleven-year-old David Wiseman is mad about cricket but no good at it. He has the entire kit but none of the skill, and he's a laughingstock at school. So when a Jamaican family moves in next door and builds a cricket net in the back garden, David is in seventh heaven. But this is 1960s Britain, and when the neighbors make life difficult for the new arrivals, David's family is caught in the middle and he must choose between fitting in and standing up for his wonderful new friends.—Anonymous
