"This is a fabulous story about a boy and how he first realizes the meaning of apartheid. He is bullied at school and learns how to box. He has friends of coloured skin and finds out how life is so different for them. A great read!"

"I was given this book on the ferry going from North Island to South Island in New Zealand. I have never heard of it.
It is a fascinating story of life in 1930/40's South Africa. From being bullied at school, he wins through in the end."
