Compelling and toned perfectly to reflect the voice and attitudes of a young teenager. The complexities of teenage life is heavily interlaced with emotional turmoil over a incident that is yet to be revealed. Musa has vigorously thrown himself into becoming captain of the swim team at his school, this helps to focus him and gives him another persona of confidence, that masks his insecurities of being different to his other class mates. His albino skin has made him feel more isolated and less able to identify with one particular group and although his class mates tease, the sense of persecution does not leave him.
And then there is the complicated relationship with his over protective brother. However, you are instantly given the impression that the over protectiveness is born from a valid reasoning and this adds to the intrigue. Overall, compelling read
