Publisher's Summary

It is a radical change for Mark when his father sends him to live with his aunt and uncle in South Africa. Mark sees poverty and racism everywhere and there seems to be no escape. When he befriends Sipho, a young black boy, his life becomes even more complicated. Suddenly Mark is caught between two worlds and must decide what he stands for and where he belongs. 

An award-winning novel about a Canadian boy's direct encounter with entrenched racism in South Africa during the turbulent years immediately following the abolition of apartheid. The book’s backdrop of cultural blindness remains relevant today wherever marginalized groups strive for recognition.

Great book for young adults

Author Lynne Fairbridge has written an entertaining novel about young adult life in South Africa after apartheid. She has a good understanding of the reality of the post-apartheid teenage scene in South Africa, and her story accurately describes it. As well, Dini Steyn's audio narration is superb.
