Books with title Helicopters

Fifteen-year-old Peter Sinclair's father is a paranoid schizophrenic, afraid of helicopters, police, and life itself. When Peter's mother leaves home one day and doesn't return, Pete and his father soon find themselves living hand-to-mouth, estranged from family, and teetering on the brink of homelessness. Based on a real experience, this is a haunting and ultimately redemptive story of illness, love, and a boy's indomitable spirit to survive.

REBECCA believes that everyone has it in them to do good things, and she tends to let her romantic imagination run free on a daily basis. JAMAL is proud of his religious beliefs and Pakistani heritage but he’s equally determined to persuade doubters that he is “British” to the core. PIP originally arrived in the UK on an asylum application with his mother. Now he lives in a condemned flat, alone, under the guidance and supposed care of the church. DEE is a brilliant mathematician, who would rather interact with complex algebraic formulae than her peers. In Helicopter, the tension between local gangs, the pull of friendship and belonging over romance and ongoing pressure from parents and siblings, lead Rebecca and her new friends into dangerous and frightening territory. The scariest question…can the adults see sense before tragedy occurs?
