Out of Shadows
"Honest, brave and devastating. Out of Shadows is more than just memorable. It's impossible to look away" - MARKUS ZUSAK, author of The Book Thief
"An extraordinary coming-of-age novel...Out of Shadows is a startlingly orginal debut" - JAKE HOPE, writing for The Bookseller The war is over, independence has been won and Robert Mugabe has come to power offering hope, land and freedom to black Africans. It is the end of the Old Way and the start of a promising new era.
For Robert Jacklin, it's all new: new continent, new country, new school. And very quickly he is forced to understand a new way of thinking, because for some of his classmates the sound of guns is still loud, and their battles rage on... white boys who want their old country back, not this new black African government.
Boys like Ivan.
Clever, cunning, wicked Ivan. For him, there is still one last battle to fight, and he's taking it right to the very top... |
