Book Summary:
Two children escape violence in Nigeria to live in Great Britain with their uncle. Unfortunately, he never meets them at the arranged spot, and they are shifted to different homes, learning to adjust to life in the U.K. Book Review: This is a powerful story about survival and overcoming trauma and tragedy. It raises questions and points for caregivers and teachers about how to be patient and build trusting relationships with children in crisis. As I was reading this, I was sometimes frustrated when the characters wouldn't fully explain their situation, but it also made complete sense that they would keep silent, afraid of systems and consequences. "They'll have to lock me up before they shut me up." |
