Author Description

"I... the odd one in my class; always ignored, or neglected in some way. When teachers asked about our summer vacation, I would just keep quiet, with little tears in my eyes threatening to come out, and listen to everybody else share their experiences: America, London, Spain, all over Europe, while I have been in just one country all my life, Nigeria. 'At the right time, we will travel," Dad would say to my brother and I. "And that is a promise and a prayer.' Every night, I would pray about what my dad had promised us and I'd go to sleep dreaming that one day, I too, would fly in an airplane." -A. Iyanu, Grade 8 White. This book is a collection of true sharing of experiences. It provides a glimpse into the lives of young people everywhere. A 'must have' for everyone who cares -and has a sense of humour.
