Description

Set in a world where Adam and Leila and their friend Zak live as Nons under the Permitted ruling class.

Then, when Adam and Leila’s father dies unexpectedly, their mother faces losing her permit to live in the Stone City with deportation to where she was born.

Before music-loving Adam can implement his plan to save Mama, Zak is arrested for a bold prank that goes wrong, with far-reaching repercussions for them all…

The eagerly awaited new children’s book comes from award-winning author Beverley Naidoo, winner of the Carnegie Medal for The Other Side of Truth.

Beverley’s first novel, Journey to Jo’burg, has never been out of print in the UK and US since its publication in 1985.

It now appears in the HarperCollins Modern Classics list and is frequently read in schools worldwide.
