(3) 4-6 Guided by the spirits of his recently deceased parents, eleven-year-old Mor struggles to support his younger sisters in their rural Senegalese village. Harder still, Mor must save enough for his sister to attend private school and steer clear of the brutal Danka Boys gang. Although the novel is lengthy for middle-grade, strong, vibrant storytelling brings the community to life. An author's note discusses street children in Senegal.
