Now Is the Time for Running by Michael Williams

4.0

Now is the Time for Running is about a teenage boy who is forced to escape Zimbabwe with his older, mentally impaired brother. They encounter life threatening dangers along the way and life doesn't improve once they reach South Africa. This is a young adult novel based on real life experiences of people in the African countries around 2008. Did to the audience, it is a fairly palatable account of a horrific time in the world's not so distant history.
