This is the story of love, commitment and the flowering of the
human spirit against the background of South Africa's apartheid.
Frightened that their baby sister Dineo will die, thirteen-year-old
Naledi and her younger brother Tiro run away from their grandmother
to Johannesburg to find their mother, who works there as a maid.
Their journey illustrates at every turn the grim realities of
apartheid - the pass laws, bantustans, racism, the breakdown of
family life.The opulence of the white "Madam's" house contrasts
starkly with the reality that Naledi and Tiro face - that their
baby sister is suffering from starvation, not an incurable disease.
This edition of Beverley Naidoo's classic story includes a special
"Why You'll Love This Book" introduction by Michael Rosen, the
Children's Laureate.
