An impressive youth novel from South African author Michael Williams. Two brothers flee Zimbabwe after their village is wiped out in political violence. All Deo has is his older brother, and his soccer ball which doubles as a hiding place for their money. South Africa is not the safe haven they seek as they experience exploitation and zenophobia. A powerful, well-written story.
