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, former Children¿s Laureate.
