What a lovely book, was not sure originally but really glad I chose it. It is the story of a young boy growing up in Zimbabwe and the trials that he has to face from prejudice against his Albinism from his peers and even members of his own family.
He is sent to stay with his grandmother who has her own stories to tell, she grew up under apartheid when the country was Rhodesia, and he learns that he is not the only one that has struggled.
This is one of those books that when you start to read you cannot put down, I finished it in a couple of days, I would say that it is written for young adults but everyone should read it. The language used although simple is colourful and engaging.
In these days of Black lives matter I believe it is pertinent to today's political events, and should be recommended reading within schools.
