This one is from the pile of books i’ve been receiving from Polish scammers for free and just read it on a whim to clear down the TBR honestly so I might not have gone into this with the most enthusiastic mind, but it’s also just generally not the sort of book I'd read anyway.
I do think it’s good for stories for this to be told though. It’s just that as a kids book, there's not much to be gained from it now for me. It’s the sort of thing I'd rather read an article on than a story like this as it doesnt give the time to get attached to anyone.
Probably great for a kid who’s first learning about issues such as Apartheid but didn’t grab me at all. You get the basics like the Pass Law and segregation of buses to whites only but not enough is really said about them apart from one admittedly good scene of the police at the train station rounding up innocent people who forgot their pass.
