Sisters 360 - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Asif Khan (Author)

And we're gonna do a joint sister/sister routine that's gonna be so sick... that the judges are gonna go... 'wow, these girls... 'Sisters 360'... are the next Hope Blacks!'

In Asif Khan's Sisters 360, Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi step-sisters in all of Bradford and they will win the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition, there is no doubt about it.

They've practised every trick in the book, and look (almost) as good as Hope Black on the telly; just check out their YouTube Channel if you're not convinced. Nothing will stop them. Except their parents have started whispering in the kitchen about living apart... about moving to different cities... only seeing each other in school holidays. How will they perfect their routine and win gold if their whole lives are about to turn 360 too? Only the greatest super plan ever concocted will help them achieve their dreams.

Inspired by real-life skateboarding sisters Layna, Maysa and Amaya, and their hero Olympic Medallist Sky Brown.

This edition was published to coincide with the production at London's Polka Theatre in March 2025.
