About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Teacher's Dead by Benjamin Zephaniah, read by Ben Bailey Smith.

The playful, obstinate and courageously humorous tone of Zephaniah's writing shines through ... hilarious and later heartbreaking' Guardian

A teacher is dead, murdered by two of his students in front of the whole school.

Right in front of Jackson Jones.

But Mr Joseph was a good man – people liked him, respected him. How could those boys stab him and jog away like nothing had happened?

Unable to process what he has seen, Jackson begins his own investigation: everyone knows who did it, but as Jackson uncovers more about the boys, he becomes convinced that people need to understand why.
