Run, Rebel
Run, Rebel
By Manjeet Mann
In this audiobook, Manjeet Mann narrates her own verse novel, making it feel like a live poetry reading and emphasising the power of spoken language.
Run, Rebel is the story of Amber finding her voice on the running track. Her parents are poor, illiterate, and still carrying the wounds of their own childhoods. It falls to Amber to break cycles of oppression and stage her own personal ‘revolution’ to achieve her sporting dreams.
Mann’s portrayal of school life, crushes, and the impacts of bullying will strike a chord with most listeners. But Amber’s Indian, immigrant story also brings intercultural insight for listeners from other backgrounds. You’ll also hear from other female characters, enriching your understanding through multiple perspectives.
The language is always clear and easy to understand. Additionally, the audio format includes some clever tricks when voices overlap, which really makes the text come alive in your headphones.
