Journey to Jo'burg: A South African Story

'Naledi and her brother Tiro slip away from their aunt, grandmother, and seriously ill baby sister to walk to Johannesburg to find their working mother. Through a young woman they meet, the children learn about those who have come and gone in the struggle against apartheid. This well-written piece has no equal.' —SLJ.
