This was a very enjoyable book, I couldn't help but feel compassion for these two main characters. It's a very powerful historical portrayal of a horrible time for African children and just as powerful a message of how not to treat people.

Lola Jaye does a superb job developing characters and displaying emotions plus the book concludes nicely tying up all loose ends. This is not a superficial book by any means, it's very thought-provoking. I would recommend this book to anyone.
