The book I read is called Journey to Jo'burg A South African Story.  It's about two children who live during the South African apartheid.  With their little sister sick, no mother, and no hospital close by, Naledi and Tiro don't know what to do  until they decide to go look for their mother.  On the way they encounter many things, such as almost getting caught by policemen, and sneaking into a forbidden orange field!  But all and all they still had a good adventure.

I like this book because it had suspense, action, and good description.  I recommend this book to people who like books with action and that tell you about different times of history.
