This beautiful HarperCollins Children' s Modern Classics edition is perfect for every bookshelf. Naledi and Tiro are frightened. Children are dying in their village and their baby sister might be next. There is only one thing left for them to do, and there is only one place left for them to go. Running away from their grandmother, the three siblings begin the long journey to find their mother in Johannesburg. At each turn they face the grim realities of apartheid - the pass laws, Bantustans, racism and injustices. Originally banned upon its publication by South Africa' s apartheid government, Beverley Naidoo' s novel still resonates with its universal story of love, commitment and the flowering of the human spirit. Complete your library with HarperCollins Children' s Classics.

" This story is compelling" TES"inspirational tale. . .

" Guardian
Beverley Naidoo was born in South Africa and grew up under apartheid. After arrest and detention without trial, she came to England. She married another exile and was only able to return freely twenty-six years later, after Nelson Mandela' s release from jail. Their two children were brought up in England where she still lives. She goes back to South Africa to stay in touch, especially with young people. A teacher for many years, she has a doctorate in education and a number of honorary degrees. Journey to Jo' burg was her first children' s book. It was an eye-opener for readers worldwide, winning awards, but it was banned in South Africa until 1991.
