Bongani's Secret (Paperback)

My stomach went cold, as though I'd swallowed a trayful of ice cubes. I looked out the window, half expecting to see someone watching me. There was no-one. Just the wall my bedroom looks out on. And as I looked at it, it seemed to be coming towards me, getting closer and closer, looming over me so that I was sure it would crush me. And then it broke into bits of concrete flying in all directions, shouting `We know your secret!'. Bongani is a smart, loveable young teenager, struggling to manage his tricky life. Someone has discovered his terrible secret and Bongani must find him and silence him. This fast-paced humorous story examines serious issues with wisdom and sensitivity. It will entertain and provoke even the most reluctant readers. "The trip that Bongani takes us on - from the first peep, peep, peep of his ever-present cell phone to the uncovering of a devastating secret that he's been living with, has the speed and twists of a rollercoaster ride ... with a surprise ending. But it's the intimacy of the writer's style that keeps the reader constantly at Bongani's side - as well as on his side." Niki Daly, judge of the MML Literature Awards.
