Book of the week: High Rise Mystery by Sharna Jackson
“If you think that finding a body is a fun adventure, you’re 33% right.”
In the right place at the wrong time.
There’s been a murder in The Tri, and super-sleuths Nik and Norva are the detective duo the Block needs to solve it.
“ A rare freshness and energy” – The Sunday Times.

Role Model of the week: Ade Adepitan
Name: Adedoyin Olayiwola “Ade” Adepitan MBE (MBE awarded for hiscontribution to disability sport in 2012)
Born: Nigeria 17th March 1973 (moved to London when he was three.)
Employment: British television presenter and wheelchair basketball player, Author and Actor.
At fifteen months old Ade contracted Polio, which left him with limited movement in his legs. Taught to walk with iron callipers, when he was 12 years old, two physiotherapists introduced Ade to wheelchair basketball and he fell in love with the sport. Years later, Ade’s wheelchair basketball team took Bronze at the Athens 2004 Paralympics and Gold at the 2005 World Cup.
He was then given the chance to try out as a T.V Presenter for sport. He was successful and so other opportunities came his way.
He’s a patron of the charity Go Kids Go, a supporter of the NSPCC and WheelPower Charity, and an Athlete Ambassador for Right to Play (helping players with disabilities). He has supported Comic Relief, Rotary International, the Gates Foundation and the End Polio campaign.
Ade documents his story in his children’s books, Cyborg Cat- Rise of the Parsons Road Gang and Cyborg Cat and the Night Spider. All sale proceeds go to Children in Need.
