The Other Side of Truth by Beverley Naidoo
5.0

I should not have been worried about reading this book. Sade and Femi are great characters who deal with the ugly truth of murder and the corrupt government of Nigeria and being smuggled out of the country without their father. Nothing is easy, and that is hard to read, but there are enough good people to help them in England. The importance of telling the truth in this novel is prominent but it is not a theme that hammers you over the head. It was not an easy read but I couldn't put it down.
