Ben Kinsella was knifed to death in June 2008 in Islington. He was just 16 years old. His sister, Brooke Kinsella (who is an actress and was in Eastenders) and her family created The Ben Kinsella Trust to promote the growing problem that is knife crime.

The Trust also hopes, one day, to build a youth centre in Ben's name in Islington to help protect, support and nurture the kids on our streets.

The book is the idea of Linda Morris and her committee, "The Baking Belles" Linda, enjoys baking and is mother to a professional chef, Ed Shaerf (Chef Patron at One Blenheim Terrace).
